I won’t be your cuckoo, my love
Em
C
Nor a thief on the wing
C
G
A shameful regret
Em
D
Or a promise on a string
C
G
And I will follow your heart
Am
Em
Until you let me in
C
G
I’ll never be your cuckoo, my love
D
C
I won’t be a lesson learned in spring
(C), G, Em, C
C
G
Don’t be a cuckoo, my love
Em
C
If you ever want to know
C
G
The beat of your heart
Em
D
Or the depth of your soul
C
G
And I will colour my life
Am
Em
With the courage that you’ve shown me
C
G
To never be a cuckoo, my love
D
C
G
Em

Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the sno-o-o-ow
C, G, Em, D
G
D
The river you didn’t cross
D
Em
Grows deeper every day
Em
C
And for the rest of my life
C
G
Are you the one that got away?
G
D
‘Fore we grow old
D
Em
Will you show me the depths of your soul?
Em
C
Though we clip your wings
C
G
Em
C
Well I will build a home with the courage that you have sho-o-o-own
C, G, Em, D
C
G
So put down your bow and arrow
Em
C
‘Cause time is on our side
C
G
And I will be here in the morning
Em
C
If there are fireworks tonight
C
G
Is this the calm before the storm?
Am
Em
The design is in your eyes
C
G
I’ll never be a cuckoo, my love
D
C
G
Oh, I will take this wish and bury it in the snow
D
C
G
And I will build a home with the courage that you have shown
D
C
G
And I will take this wish and bury it in the snow
D
If you cross this river
G
I’m yours and yours alone
