Nina Nesbitt - 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
