       D
I went down to the water
                    G
And looked past the breakers
              F
And something in the sky told me
G          F         D
It'd never be the same
 
D
I look to my sister
                     G
Saying, "What have I done?
            F
I've made a mess of this
G    F         D
Song that I've sung"
 
A#7
Now everyone's trying to tell me
How it's supposed to feel
C
They nod like I'm a child
But they don't even hear me
 
D                            G
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
                 F
But it's not the right time
   G            F     D
So I'll fly out on my own
                        G
So if you see my little songbird
                      F
Can you tell her I'll wait here
     G      F        D
Down by the shoreline
 
D
The words of the Father
                G
They ring in my ear
       F
Go and find you a love
    G        F           D
And live out all of your years
 
D
And they say if you're looking
                          G
Well, you'll get what you come for
    F            G         F        D
And everyone has their own price to pay
 
A#7
Oh, I don't really know what to believe
C
Oh I'll call out to the world, "Hello, can you hear me?"
 
 
D                            G
Oh I will wait for my little songbid
                 F
But it's not the right time
        G       F     D
So I'll fly out on my own
                        G
So if you see my little songbird
                      F
Can you tell her I'll wait here
G    F      D
Down by the shoreline
 
D                            G
Oh I will wait for my little songbird
                 F
But it's not the right time
        G       F     D
So I'll fly out on my own
                        G
So if you see my little songbird
                      F
Can you tell her I'll wait here
G    F      D
Down by the shoreline
