           C                  F                         Am
There's a bird inside of my chest, he's fighting for breath,
           
           G
dyin' to leave.

          C                      F                    Am    
But he's got no heart, he don't want no part of your cryin'

           G
makin' a scene.

               F     C           G
'Cause he can only love you in song.

                F        C         G
And he'll just keep on getting it wrong.

         C
So carry on,

      G
Carry on

       C              F 
Carry on my bird of song.

                C        G      Am        F
Though I would just as soon forget your tune
      
           C      G       C
You carry on my bird of song.
