Verse
[F]It's the shadow in the da[Ab]rk
[F]It's the silver in the p[Ab]ark
[F]It's the broken, f[Ab]aded bird
you've learned to call yo[Eb]ur heart[F]
it?s not a border that yo[Ab]u can see
[F]just as plain as you or me
I can't throw the lock[Ab] back
[Eb]and I don't have th[Db]e key[F]

Verse
[F]It hovers in the [Ab]living room
[F]just above the d[Ab]oor
[F]it whistles while it h[Ab]angs there
feathers dripping from eve[Eb]ry po[F]re
they show the spectacle of fal[Ab]ling
[Eb]and settle to the[Db] flo[F]or
they show the spectacle of fa[Ab]lling
[Eb]and settle to the[Db] floo[F]r
(play the bridge again, then solo over the verse progression)
