Introdução:
G Am
There's the thing with feathers that I put away for four years
Bm C
From its cage it comes and stretches out its wings
G Am
When I'm feeling beaten down, I wish I'd never let it out
Bm C
Cause I can't help but hear the song it sings
B Em C
These things don't come cheap
B Em C
It's easier to stay asleep
Am Am/F C Am
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
C
Even when it's broken
G Am
There's the thing with feathers, slowly waking after four years
Bm C
It's always good to see you, my old friend
G Am
Bleary-eyed and breathless as you pull me from the wreckage,
Bm C
And you call me to the precipice again
B Em C
These things don't come cheap
B Em C
It's easier to stay asleep
Am Am/F C Am
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
C
Even when it's broken
C Am C Am
Wide, Wide Wide open
G Am
There's the thing with feathers, shaking off the dust of four years,
Bm C
It is restless like my mother, it is patient like my father,
G Am
And I am their dreaming daughter, I will always tread this water,
Bm C
And you cannot drown my sound beneath your fear
B Em C
These things don't come cheap
B Em C
It's easier to stay asleep
Am Am/F C Am
But I know I have to keep my heart wide open
C Am
Wide Open
