The Sadies - Strange Birds Chords

G
Empty out your pockets
C                  G
The papers and the money
                 Em
Names and faces, other worlds
C                         G
Where days are bright and sunny

G
There's someone here you may have met
C                 G
Or maybe just forgotten
                   Em
In the half-light, clothes all wet
C                 G
I wonder how this happened

G
Take the best and dump the rest
C                 G
Whisper your intentions
                      Em
Strange birds sing of frightening things
C              G
Too obvious to mention

G
The patterns in the fabric fade
C                       G
The loose threads are unfurling
                  Em
A red river flows out the door
C                    G
And a city pub shuts early

G
I'll put on an iron shirt
C                   G
And walk out of the city
                Em
Back to see the ones I love 
C                  G
The ones who won't desert me

G
If I had bounty on my head
C                      G
They'd never raise the money
                     Em
I'd wake up laughing in the night
C                    G
And wonder what's so funny

G
Take the best and dump the rest
C                 G
Whisper your intentions
                      Em
Strange birds sing of frightening things
C              G
Too obvious to mention
                      Em
Strange birds sing of frightening things
C              G
Too obvious to mention
