Intro - C (2nd String 3rd fret) (Acapella) Well I didn't tell anyone but a bird flew by, saw what I done he set up a nest outside and he sang about what I'd become, C G He sang so loud, sang so clear Am F I was afraid all the neighbours would hear C G so I invited him in just to reason with him, Am F (strum once) promised I wouldn't do it again But he sang C louder and louder inside the house G and now I couldn't get him out Am so I trapped him under a cardboard box F stood on it to make it stop C I picked up the bird and above the dim G said that's the last time you'll ever sing C G Held him down, broke his neck Am F taught him a lesson he wouldn't forget C G Am F But in my dreams began to hear C G that old familiar Am (strum once) F (strum once) tweet tweet tweet C I opened my mouth to scream and shout G and I waved my arms and flapped about Am but I couldn't scream and I couldn't shout F couldn't scream and I couldn't shout (repeat) Cause the song was coming... C G Am F from my mouth, from my mouth C G Am F from my mouth, from my mouth
