[Intro]
Bm  F#  G  Em  x2
 
[Verse 1]
      Bm
Don't tell me I'm the one
 
I wouldn't want to be the one
            F#
I wouldn't want to know
             G
Yeah there's context of course
 
These are temporary thoughts
            Em
I think one day they'll go
Bm                                                      F#
Yes I know I love you but as time goes on I think we'll both get hurt
    G                                                      Em
And we keep clinging on whilst we treat each other like we don't deserve
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm                                             F#
When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
         G                                             Em
I can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
    Bm                                  F#
Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
       G                                  Em
Please know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you

[Interlude]
Bm  F#  G  Em  x2
 
 
[Verse 2]
     Bm                             F#           G            Em
And truth be told I'm so unsure if I should even walk away
    Bm                        F#              G                   Em
But I keep clinging on whilst knowing that I treat you worse everyday
     Bm         F#            G           Em
I am distant in mind and I am distant in body
     Bm                    F#                   G         Em
Even with me by your side you'll be inevitably lonely
 
       Bm                           F#
And of one thing I'm sure it's that you deserve more
      G                                   Em
I am selfish and distracted, some weeks barely interacted
     Bm
I am difficult and late
  F#
I do not save the date
          G
I have myself prioritised
  Em
I ask your help and time
         N.C.
I so rarely give you mine
 
 
[Chorus]
        Bm                                             F#
When we met you gave me a necklace of a bird you said didn't have a home
         G                                             Em
I can't remember for sure but I think it was a type of swallow
    Bm                                  F#
Sometimes I think we both knew from the start that this was doomed
       G                                  Em
Please know, my love, I treasure all the time I spent with you
 
 
[Verse 3]
          Bm               F#                G
And now I feel like such a fool for this to be what I choose
   Em
As if you weren't enough
Bm            F#            G             Em
Because I can say that I've never felt as loved
   Bm              F#          G           Em
I can't apologize more for my absence of emotion
  Bm               F#                G             Em
I know this song I write for you is just a selfish token
 
 
[Outro]
Bm              F#          G        Em
Although theres pain in the end
        Bm        F#         G        Em
I would love to remain your friend
Bm                 F#             G     Em
Break the past and make amends
     Bm               F#          G        Em
And learn to love you again in a new way
