just like st. francis 
                 F
the little birds come 
             G6
lonely for a little warm 
    C
you give them your music 
                     F
but they just want a song 
                  G6
oh no, i'll never learn
 
     Am                 D
but, I'd make beautiful sounds 
            F
i'd lay you down like 
  G6
a lover would 
   Am                    C
my pride, still standin' straight
            F 
but looking back 
            G6
i wasn't so brave 
            F       G6
i wasn't so brave 

C
flying through tunnels 
                    F
at the mouth of New York 
             G7
sometimes, I belong here 
         C
but it's funny how leaving 
                    F
turns the emptiness up 
                   G
the hole you never heard before 

Am                D
oh, i laugh in my hands 
                 F
a kiss from that man like 
  G6
a melody
   Am                    C     
my pride, still standing tall 
            F                       G7
but lookin' back, i wasn't brave at all 
                  F        Am   D    F    G
i wasn't brave at all, was I? 

Am                 D
I'd make beautiful sounds
            F                 G6 
I'd lay you down like a lover would 
       Am                  C
on the phone, I started to say 
           F
But then I stopped 
             G
I used to be brave 
             F      G6
I used to be brave 

C                                    F        G6    C
Here's hoping next time we'll get it right
