Cry Monster Cry - Starling

      [Verse 1]
G#
Counting the bridges I’ve burned all of my life
       C#                                     G#
Those arches and moats are broken and past repair
G#
If you were the mockingbird I was the carpenter’s wife
  C#                                                                                G#
I searched for the good the shavings of wood desperate to find it but I never could


[Chorus]
 D#                                     C#                          G#
But I always say as long as I tried my best, Devil take the rest


[Verse 2]
G#
Counting the lessons I’ve received best of my life
C#                                          G#
Loved ones and friends, roots of my family tree
G#
If you were the carpenter I was a starling in flight
  C#                                                                                           G#
I broke from the ground, I mimicked the sounds, free as the springtime while others were bound


[Chorus]
 D#                                               C#
If people seem wrong, confused by your songs I’ll defend them
    D#                                            C#                             G#
And if we return to bridges I’ve burned will you mend them? We can start again

C#    G#
Oooooooooh x 4


[Chorus]
 D#                                               C#
If people seem wrong, confused by your songs I’ll defend them
    D#                                            C#                             G#
And if we return to bridges I’ve burned will you mend them? We can start again
