[Verse 1]
C# D#m x6

C#          D#m
Small lies, tiny heart
C#               D#m
Your journey has worn you out
C#                D#m            F     Bbm
I see nothing but shame in your smile

[Chorus]
Bbm                   F
A lost bird's flying high

[Verse 2]
C#        D#m
Old face, tired ears
C#                 D#m
Wrong turnings and souvenirs
C#                D#m               F   Bbm
I see hundreds of memories when you say

[Chorus]
Bbm         F
A lost bird remembers

[Verse 3]
C#             D#m
C'mon choose a day
C#                      D#m
To say what you have to say
C#                    D#m         F      Bbm
To ask me to come and play in the clouds

[Chorus]
Bbm                  F
I'm a lost bird in a clear sky

[Post-Chorus 1]
Bbm F G# C# D#m x2

[Verse 4]
C#        D#m
Slow down need a rest
C#          D#m
Will settle around your nest
C#                D#
I thought I could be your guest
G#m   F     Bbm   F
For a while

[Verse 5]
C#          D#m
I've had my wings for rent
C#       D#m
I fly by accident
C#              D#m               F
I've never been sane it's a lie

[Post-Chorus 2]
F# Bbm G# C# F# Bbm F

C'mon give a hand
D#m             C#
Welcome me as a friend
D#m          C#            F    Bbm
Free to come back again anytime

[Chorus]
Bbm                  F
I'm a lost bird in a clear sky
