I Should Be A Bird

[Intro]
Am7   D/F# 
 
  G   D/F#   Em7
Mmm,    ohh,   yeah
 
 
[Verse 1]
Am7
 I've been trying to find the right time
D/F#
 To tell you everything on my mind
G                         D/F#               Em7
 But I'm still trying to find the right time, mmm mmm
Am7
 And I know you're going through hard things, so
D/F#
 I'm giving everything to fix things
G                       D/F#                 Em7
 But I'm tryna figure where to draw the line, mmm
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
 Sometimes you talk, got me thinking that you hate me
D/F#
 Still love you, but some days I'm kinda suffocating
G               D/F#
 I don't wanna see
         Em7
I don't wanna see you down, but
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                       D/F#
 How am I supposed to carry
                    G                  D/F#       Em7
The weight of your love when it gets this heavy?
               Am7
I should be a bird
                               D/F#
But I don't really feel like flying
                     G
'Cause my wings are hurt
             D/F#         Em7
Yeah, I'm tired of trying
 
 
[Verse 2]
 Am7
I feel like I'm living for the days when
D/F#
 I think that I'm finally seeing changes
G                         D/F#        Em7
 And there ain't nothing more amazing, mmm
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
Am7
 Sometimes I wonder, are we flying 'round in circles?
D/F#
 I'm in the sky, but you're bringing me back down low
G                   D/F#
 But I don't wanna come down
Em7
 I wanna lift you back up
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                       D/F#
 How am I supposed to carry
                    G                  D/F#       Em7
The weight of your love when it gets this heavy?
               Am7
I should be a bird
                               D/F#
But I don't really feel like flying
                     G
'Cause my wings are hurt
             D/F#         Em7
Yeah, I'm tired of trying
 
 
[Bridge]
           Am7           D/F#
Should I stay or should I go?
     G                            D/F#                  Em7
How long is it gonna be this way? I just really wanna know
        Am7       D/F#
Am I afraid to let you know?
          G                         Em7                   D/F#        A/C#
'Cause I don't wanna be the one to hurt you while you're hurting the most
 
 
[Chorus]
Am7                       D/F#
 How am I supposed to carry
                    G                  D/F#       Em7
The weight of your love when it gets this heavy?
               Am7
I should be a bird
                               D/F#  G
But I don't really feel like flying, oh
               D/F#     Em7
When I'm tired of the trying
   Em7
Oh, tell me
Am7                       D/F#
 How am I supposed to carry
                    G                  D/F#       Em7
The weight of your love when it gets this heavy?
               Am7
I should be a bird
                               D/F#
But I don't really feel like flying
                     G
'Cause my wings are hurt
             D/F#         Em7
Yeah, I'm tired of trying
 
 
[Outro]
 Am7   D/F#
Ooh,  ooh
               G     D/F#    Em7
I should be a bird
 Am7   D/F#
Ooh,  ooh
               G     D/F#    Em7
I should be a bird
Am7   D/F#              G     D/F#    Em7
         I should be a bird
