Birdcage Religion Sleeping at Last
So slowly I'm losing[E] [B]
who [Abm]I've sworn [E]to be.
a pr[E]omise in pe[B]ncil
that[Abm] years have made so ha[E]rd to read.
I've[E] spent my life buildin[B]g walls
bric[Abm]k by brick and bruise [E]by bruise...
a bi[E]rdcage reli[B]gion that w[Abm]hispered me[Gb] to sleep.
Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb
but [E]time is spi[B]nning silk
that[Abm] coils ruth[E]lessly;
with[E] the devil'[B]s patience,
it b[Abm]inds my han[E]ds so quietly
that[Gb] soon it becomes a [E]part o[Gb]f me.
Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb (2X)
so s[E]often these[B] edges and str[Abm]aighten out my [E]tie.
and [E]help me rem[B]ember
the [Abm]hope that I have compro[E]mised.
plea[Gb]se be a broken rec[E]ord for [Gb]me.
Instrumental: E, B, E, B, E, B, E, B, Gb
