Bird Of Sorrow Chords & Tabs

by Glen Hansard

[Intro]
C   Em   Am x2

[Verse]
           C   Em           Am
Even if a day feels too long
                    C         Em      Am
You feel like you can wait another one
                C           Em       Am
You're slowly givin' up on everything
F                           CEm
Love is gonna find you again
F                                               Em Am
Love is gonna find you, you better be ready then
C   Em   Am x2

[Verse 2]
                         C          Em       Am
You been kneelin' in the dark for far too long
                                C      Em       Am    
You've been waitin' for that spark, but it hasn't come
                            C          Em         Am
Well I'm callin' to you, please, get off the floor
F                               CEm
A good heart will find you again
F                                             Em Am
A good heart will find you, just be ready then

[Chorus]
F                           
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
Dm                                 
A voice that's buried in the hollow
C                                  
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Em                                       
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
Am                                          
You've squandered more than you could borrow
F                                    
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
C                             
For the hope of some returnin'
Em                              Am  
While everything around just burnin'


[Verse 3]
Come on, we gotta get out, get out of this mess we made
And still for all our talk, we're both so afraid
Well will we leave this up to chance, like we do everything?
Love is gonna find us again
Love is gonna find us, we gotta be ready then

[Chorus]
F                           
Tethered to a bird of sorrow
Dm                                 
A voice that's buried in the hollow
C                                  
You've given over to self-deceivin'
Em                                       
Your prostrate bowed would not be leavin'
Am                                          
You've squandered more than you could borrow
F                                    
You've bet your joys on all tomorrows
C                             
For the hope of some returnin'
Em                              Am  
While everything around just burnin'
