CAPO: 2nd Fret
INTRO: G Em Am D
[G]Rare bird, I know your [Em]loneliness
Born into a [Am]crowded nest and given a[D]way
Soli[G]taire girl, your voice crying in the [Em]wilderness
Where suffering brings [Am]holiness, at least that's what they [D]say
[Am]Rare bird, I wish you good [Em]company[D]
[G]Rare bird I know your [Em]sorrow
It rings a little [Am]hollow with every passing[D] day
It's not [G]fair girl, they want a piece of [Em]all of you
To form a line and [Am]follow you with every word that you[D] say
[Am]Rare bird, I wish you [Em]sanctuary[D]
With your [Am]razor-wire and pitfalls
My way of climbing walls
And finding where the china dolls are [Em]hidden
[Am]Words can be misunderstood
My intentions were all good
There's nothing here not worth for[D]giving
INSTRUMENTAL: G Em Am D Am Em D
I'm [Am]not the kind to hover near
Or stand in line to catch your ear
But I just want to get things clea[Em]r between us
I [Am]know how to disappear
And leave by the backdoor dear
Make sure that no one here[D] has seen us
[G]Rare bird, I don't want you [Em]to go down
Here on the [Am]poor side of town, there's nothing left to [D]say
Just this [G]prayer girl, we'll go on from [Em]here unbound
Meet again on [Am]higher ground, some unclo[D]udy day
[Am]Rare bird, just a little [Em]prayer from me[D]
