Am  G  Am  G

[Verse 1]
Am                                                                G
  Old friend, do you make the sunset? Do you make the bright stars flee?
Am                                                        G
  Old crow, time is getting late; I know you've a gift for me
Am                                                          G
  Old bird, I see it in your talons; Glittering between the leaves
Am                                                              G
  Friend, I'm swimming in the shallows; You're calling from the deep

[Chorus]
               Am
And we bide our time; And we shed our skins
                G
And we shake our bones; And we sink like stones
                    Am
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
               G
And we bide our time

[Interlude]
Am  G  Am  G

[Verse 2]
Am                                                  G
  Old bird, you and I are brothers; Bonded by if and would
Am                                                      G
  Old crow, you and I are sisters; Swimming in a bowl of blood
Am                                                          G
  Old friend, you and I were strangers; Living by a restless sea
Am                                                        G
  Friend, I knew when the wind blew; That you were calling me

[Chorus]
               Am
And we bide our time; And we shed our skins
                G
And we shake our bones; And we sink like stones
                    Am
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
               G
And we bide our time
               Am
And we bide our time; And we bide our time
               G
And we bide our time; And we bide our time
                    Am
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
               G
And we bide our time
