There are some parts that I couldn't be positive  of the guitars part, due
to the volume of the guitar, but it fits and the parts you can hear fit.

          Don't remind me that some days I'm a windshield             |

~VERSE 2~
 
Repeat with these lyrics.
 
Don't remind me I'm a chickadee in love with the sky
But that's clearly not a lot to crow about
'Cause when the stars silhouette me
I'm scared they'll forget me and flicker out
I taste honey but I haven't seen the hive
Yeah I didn't look I didn't even try
But still my heart stops without you
'Cause there's something about you that makes me feel alive
 
 
~REPEAT CHORUS~
 
 
~BRIDGE~
 
Electric plays chords again.

                  We are the honey and the bee
 
C           F     G
Backyard of butterflies surround me
C             F         G
And I fell in love with you like bees to honey
C              F         G              Am
So lets up and leave the weeping to the willow tree
C            F            G
And pour our tears in the sea
  Am C G                                F                      G
I swear there's a lot of vegetables out there that crop up for air
          C                                   F
And yet I never thought we were two peas in a pod
          Am       G
'Till you suddenly bloomed I knew
     F          Am   G      F           Am       G
That I'd always love you oh I'll always love you too
