   C                              Dm
I couldn't utter my love when it counted
                            F              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now
                                        Dm
I couldn't whisper when you needed it shouted
                            F              C
Ah, but I'm singing like a bird, 'bout it now

     Am          G
    Words hung above
         C           F
    But never would form
            Am         G      C              Am
    Like a cry at the final breath that is drawn
       Am         G         C      Fmaj7
    Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
            Am            G                  C
    As a shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
	
   C                                Dm
I had no idea on what ground I was founded
                         F              C
All of that goodness is going with you now
  C                               Dm
Then when I met you my virtues uncounted
                       C             Dm
All of my goodness is gone with you now

      Am       G     C              F
    Dragging alone, follow in your form
     Am            G             C           Am
    Hung like the pelt of some prey you had worn
       Am         G         C      Fmaj7
    Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
              Am            G                  C
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn

    C                               Dm
I fled to the city with so much discounted
                           F           C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now
 C                                      Dm
Back to the hedgerows where bodies are mounted
                           F           C
Ah, but I'm flying like a bird to you now

           Am              G
    I was highest by your warmth, 
      C        F
    Thus transformed
               Am          G          C          Am
    But your grounded and giving and darkening scorn
       Am         G         C      Fmaj7
    Remember me, love, when I'm reborn
              Am            G                  C
    As the shrike to your sharp and glorious thorn
