(verse 1)
[Csus2] Filthy [Abmaj7]bird laying [Ebsus2]in our [G]yard,
[Csus2]four chambered[Abmaj7] heart never [Ebsus2]beat so [G]hard.
[Csus2]Dad said [Abmaj7]she was [Ebsus2]almost go[G]ne,
[Csus2]upside [Abmaj7]down out [Ebsus2]on our law[G]n.
And I could hold her in a shoe box,
if she healed she could be mine.
And if I cannot save her spirit,
Dad says I should break her spine.
[Csus2]Shaking, brilliant, [Ebsus2]silver-black wings,
[Abm]Jesus Christ, what [Bbm]prayers these tears sing.
(chorus)
[Csus2]Wear your hearts out [Ebsus2]on your sleeves for[Abm]
starlings..[Bbm]. starlings.
[Csus2]Of the least of [D3sus2]all of these
are [Abm] starlings.[Bbm].. starlings.
(verse 2)
Two years pass, I pump the chamber,
full of air to shoot the birds.
Harmless game to hit them slightly,
to scare them off, in other words.
Slarling falling to her death,
pircing copper steals her breath.
See the flutter in her breast,
starving babies in her nest.
Raise their souls up to the sky,
why must helpless creatures die?
(chorus)
(bridge)
[Csus2]Every breath has [Ebsus2]sacred weight,
[Abm] every life has some [Bbm]design.
[Csus2]Can we kill and al[Ebsus2]so save,
[Abm]speak of life, while [Bbm]digging graves?
Raise their souls up to the sky,
why must helpless creatures die?
(chorus)
