Tone: [C]
Verse -a capella-:
Well, I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by
Saw what I'd done, he set up a nest outside
and he sang about what I'd become
He [F]sang so loud, [C]sang so clear
[E7]I was afraid all the [Am]neighbours would hear
so I [F]invited him in just to [C]reason with him
I [E7]promised I wouldn't [Am]do it again
But he sang [F]louder and louder inside the house
and [C]now I couldn't get him out
so I [E7]trapped him under a cardboard box
and [Am]stood on him to make it stop
I [F]picked up the bird and above the din I said
[C]That's the last song you'll ever sing
[F]Held him down, broke his neck
[C]Taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget
Interlude:
[E7] [Am]
But [F]in my dr[C]eams beg[E7]an to cr[Am]eep
that [F]old fami[C]familiar t[E]tweet, tweet, tweet
Chorus:
I [E7]opened my mouth to scream and shout
I [Am]waved my arms and flapped about
but I [E7]couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
[Am]Couldn't scream and I couldn't shout
I [E7]opened my mouth to scream and shout
[Am]Waved my arms and flapped about
but I [E7]couldn't scream, I couldn't shout
The [Am]song was coming from my [F]mouth [C]
from my [E7]mout[Am]mouth
from my[F]my mou[C]mouth
from my [E7]mout[Am]mouth
from my[F]my mout[C]mouth
from my [E7]mout[Am]mouth
from my[F]my mou[C]mouth
from my [E7]mout[Am]mouth
[Am]from my [F]mout[C]mouth
from my [E7]mout[Am]mouth
from my [F]mout[C]mouth
from my[E7]my mou[Am]mouth
