Cuckoo


[C]It might sound funny

[Am7]But when your heart is [F]nearly-new [Fm]

You say I'll try; but [C]never do [Am] [Dm]

I'll try to [G]get there in the [C]end



[C]The cuckoo is a [Am7]pretty bird

[F]It sings the sweetest song I've [Fm]ever heard

And it re[C]minds me how you [Am]stole into my [Dm]heart

And took [G]everything a[C]way

A[Am7]way



It's out[F]rageous

It's dis[Fm]graceful

[E7]How could we ever have been so [Am]tasteful?

I [F]know we said we [G]won't

But you can [F]call me if you [G]want

And you [C]know I'm [G]always [Am]there



I thought you'd like to [F]know

I still think you are the [Fm]most

But you left me living [E7]here

Married to a [Am]ghost

Then, it gets so [Dm]cold at [G]night-time

Never knew it got so [Dm]cold at [G]night-time

Sometimes dreams come [C]true:

One night [F]when the moon is [C]blue

And [F]I may come to [C]you

With a [Am]love that's nearly-[C]new



[C]Oh, my [Am7]love

[F]I've tried to [Fm]love you

But I [C]guess I'm out of [Am]practice

[Dm]And practicing is [G]Strictly for the [C]birds



[C]The cuckoo is a [Am7]pretty bird

[F]It sings the sweetest song I've [Fm]ever heard

And it re[C]minds me how you [Am]stole into my [Dmheart

And then threw [G]everything a[C]way

And you [Am7]say:



It's out[F]rageous

It's so [Fm]shoddy

The way you're [E7]making love to someone else's [Am]body

And my [F]flesh can go and [G]crawl

Halfway [F]up the bedroom [G]wall

And you [C]know I'm [G]always [Am]there



I thought you'd like to [F]know

I still think you are the [Fm]most

But you left me living [E7]here

Married to a [Am]ghost

Then, it gets so [Dm]cold at [G]night-time

Never knew it got so [Dm]cold at [G]night-time

Sometimes dreams come [C]true:

One night [F]when the moon is [C]blue

And [F]I may come to [C]you

With a [Am]love that's nearly-[C]new
