    D                         D/F#
She laughs like she cries and cries like the sky 
    G                      D 
Is about to be earthwardly bound
      D                       D/F#
You’d think that she died one tear at a time 
        G                    A
And her time is about to run out
D                      D/F#
Flying from you is the first thing she’ll do 
        G                        D 
just to see if you’ll chase her around
    G                         D
She laughs like she cries so imagine the high 
        A                            D  
I could catch when that girl touches down.


Chorus 1: 
               G
She don’t know why
               Bm
she don’t know why
Em              Em/F#       G
songbirds can’t help but to fly 
    A              D 
And she don’t know why


She sings like a bird has never been heard 
while it’s resting its wings on the ground
But high in a tree when she’s just out of reach 
you can hear her impossible sound
Like a voice from above reminds you her love 
is a live you should never have found
She sings like a bird and I never deserve 
to hear what she was singing about.


Chorus
 

Bridge:

      Bm                      Bm/A                   G                      D        
Wings don’t need a reason for coming or leaving they don’t need a reason to fly
        Bm                        Bm/A                      G                      A
They’re just made for healing the man to start beating, she ordered them up to the sky


Chorus 2:
I don’t know why
I don’t know why
I let her take to the sky 
Without saying goodbye


Songbirds just fly
