G                             C                     G
I want a bird, I want a bird, to sing that song for me 
G                                    C                   G
I'm just sitting here, sitting here, waiting all impatiently
G                               C                   G
If that bird, and if that bird, sings that song for me
              G            C
Then I will try to set her free
            G                     C
A bird can fly when she wants to leave
               G                      C
But when she decides now to stay with me
             G                    C
Then I will know it was meant to be, yeah

G
I've been searching, all my whole darn day
C
Looking for what I can find
G
When a sweet little bird came and flew my way
C
And said, hey mister do you mind? 
G
If I could sit right here, beside you
C
And I sing my favorite song? 
G
And if you don't enjoy my company
C
Then I'll just ramble on

G
I want a bird, (I want a bird) 
C                     G
To sing that song for me, yeah 
         Em
I'm just sitting here, (sitting here) 
C                  G
Waiting all impatiently
G
But if that bird, (if that bird) 
C                   G
sings that song for me, yeah 
      Em
Then I'll know, (then I'll know) 
            C                    G
I said I'll know it was meant to be, yeah 

I want a bird
To sing that song for me, yeah 
I'm just sitting here, (sitting here) 
Waiting all impatiently, yeah 
And if that bird, (if that bird) 
Sings that song for me 
Then I will try to set her free 
A bird can fly when she wants to leave 
When if she decides now to stay with me 
Then I will know it was meant to be, yeah
