Intro
F Am G G x8


[Verse]

F           C                  Am                D
    Rain bird, laughing in the olive tree, la la dee dah
F             C                       Am              D
    Colored shirt, with the alabaster altarpiece, you made for me
F             C
    Summer sweet, some forgiven
    Am              D                               F
    Your advice is all that seems to matter much to me
              C                          Am       D
    Call it sweet, call it something paradise

    
[Chorus]   
          F             C         Am               D
Is it the right word              you designed for me?
          F             C         Am               D
Is it the broken word             or good advice i need?
          F             C         Am            D
Is the half as sweet              set aside for me?
          F             C         Am                        D
Is it mysterious?                  is it something ripe and sweet?


F Am G G x4

[Verse - F C Am D]
Snowbird, your sister said she needed me, la la dee dah
Show them first, show them what you did for me, la la dee dah
Quiet sound, and little soldier sent beneath
And epaulets that covered every shoulder
Call it sweet come take
Forget the things I said, to please


[Chorus - F C Am D]
Is it the right word you designed for me?
Is it the broken word or good advice i need?
Is the tapestry set beneath my wings?
Is it mysterious, glorious? Indeed.

F Am G G x4

F              Am              F           G
    Quiet room,  I need you now 


[Chorus - F C Am D]

Is it the right word?
Is it the broken word?
Is it the majesty?
Is it the tapestry?

[Chorus - F C Am D]
Is it the right word?
Is it the broken word?
Is it the tapestry?
Is it the majesty?



F              Am              F           G
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place

(slower)
    Don’t stop,   don’t break.   You can delight because you have a place
    Quiet room, i  need  you  now…
