[Intro]
Dm  Am  C
[Verse]
   Dm 
As long as you notice 
    Am             C                   Dm 
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open 
                    Am     C 
I'll keep mine open too 
       Dm 
If you don't ask, I won't tell 
     Am              C 
Just know that, just know that 
   Dm             Am                G* 
It all hurts, it all hurts just the same
[Chorus]
F             Dm                 Am 
Something is wrong, I can't explain 
                            C 
Everything changed when the birds came 
Dm           F                    Am                       C 
You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early 
F           Dm                  Am                    C 
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how 
Dm           F                 Am               Am* 
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
[Verse]
   Dm 
As long as you notice 
    Am             C                   Dm 
I'm hoping that you'll keep your heart open 
                    Am     C 
I'll keep mine open too 
Dm                    Am 
So, so, I'll probably take you aside 
             C 
And tell you what's on my mind 
    Dm 
But you, you'll just keep it inside 
         Am                    G 
Probably tell me that you're alright
[Chorus]
F            Dm                  Am 
Something is wrong, I can't explain 
                            C 
Everything changed when the birds came 
Dm           F                    Am                       C 
You'll never know what they might do if they catch you too early 
F           Dm                  Am                    C 
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how 
Dm           F                 Am               Am 
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
[Bridge]
G  Am F 
(If I run) If I run away I'll never know 
G     Am  Dm 
(What you want) And if you go then I’ll never grow 
G   Am F 
(I'm undone) Let me slip, let me slide 
G   Am  Dm 
(If you run) I'll be sure to let you fly
[Chorus]
F            Dm                Am 
Something is off, I can't explain 
                        C 
You know what I mean, don't you? 
Dm            F                 Am 
Something I saw, or something I did that made me like this 
          C 
Could you help me? 
F          Dm                   Am                    C 
We need to fly ourselves before someone else tells us how 
Dm           F                 Am                        C 
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying 
Dm           F                 Am 
Something is off, I feel like prey, I feel like praying
[Verse]
Dm                    Am 
So, so, I'll probably take you aside 
             C 
And tell you what's on my mind 
    Dm 
But you, you'll just keep it inside 
         Am                    G 
Probably tell me that you're alright 
Dm                    Am 
So, so, I'll probably take you aside 
             C 
And tell you what's on my mind 
    Dm 
But you, you'll just keep it inside 
         Am                    G* 
Probably tell me that you're alright
[Outro]
                F       Dm 
I don't want to fight 
                F       Dm 
I don't want to fight 
                F       Dm 
I don't want to fight 
                F       Dm (End) 
I don't want to fight
