SONG: "Terrible Love" (The National cover)
ARTIST: Birdy
Tabbed by Steven Long
 
Really love this version, even though I'm not typically a big fan of Birdy. Very
simple song, only my second submitted tab, but I think this is correct.

[Verse 1]
 
   Am              F
And I can't fall asleep
           C      G
Without a little help
                           Am
It takes awhile to settle down
            F                   C       G
My shivered bones, wait til the panic's out

C                        F
It takes an ocean not to break
C                        F
It takes an ocean not to break
C                        F
It takes an ocean not to break
C                        F
It takes an ocean not to break

[Verse 2]
 
    C              F
And I won't follow you
         C      G
Into the rabbit hole
                           Am                F
I said I would, but then I saw your shivered bones
            C        G
They didn't want me to

I think the first chord on "And I won't follow you" is an Am - otherwise perfect :)
