Magpies On Fire
Intro: G Gm Eb Bbm
F C Dm
Magpies on fire
F C Dm
Making love like little wolves
Out on the porch
Can lead to medicine
F C Dm
Oh well I m game,
G Bb (hold)
For anything at all
F C Dm
Scarecrows a liar
F C
Spins a yarn and no one
Dm
Ever checked it out
To see if it was real
F C Dm
Sold you the moon and
G Bb
Now it s time to fall
Gm
All along
It s like a bird
Who s trapped alone
Eb Bbm
Inside your cage, love
F Eb Bb
What more do you want?
F Eb Bb
How much more can you take?
F Eb Bb
I love my mistakes
F Eb Bb
I ve been here before
Am Dm
All in all
Gm
It s just the call
Eb
Of something wild
Bb (hold)
Beyond your room
G
There s a changing
Of the major chord
Gm Eb Bbm
Your minor threat will do, love
F C Dm
My gun misfired
F C
Shot myself instead
Dm
I guess I always knew
I d be the one to lose
F C Dm
That screen door slams
G Bb (hold)
Time to make a move
F Eb Bb
What more do you want?
F Eb Bb
How much more can you take?
F Eb Bb
I love my mistakes
F Eb Bb
I ve been here before
Am Dm
All in all
Gm
It s like a bird
Eb
Who s trapped alone
Am Dm
Inside your cage, love
Gm
A bird who s born
Eb Am Dm
To live at half your age, girl
Gm
A bird who s
Eb Bb (hold)
Never really had a say
F Eb Bb
What more do you want?
F Eb Bb
How much more can you take?
F Eb Bb
I love my mistakes
F Eb Bb
I ve been here before
Am Dm
Least of all
Gm
She s like a bird
Eb
Who s now been freed
Bb
From someones cage

Magpgies on fire
Making love like little
Worms out on the porch can
Leave the medicine
Oh well I'm game
For anything at all
Scarecrows a liar
Spends the year alone
No one checked it out
To see if it was real
Sold you the moon
And now it's time to fall
All in all it's like the
Bird who's trapped alone inside the cage
Love
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
All in all it's just
A call of something wise beyond your room
There's a changing of a major chord
Your minor threat will do, love
My gun misfired
Shot myself instead I guess
I always knew I'd be the one to lose
Last scream don't slane
Time to make a move
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
All in all it's like the
Bird who's trapped alone inside the cage
Love
A bird who's going to live at half your age, girl
A bird who's never really here to say
What more do you want?
How much more can you take?
I love my mistakes
I've been here before
Least of all she's like
A bird who's now been
Freed from someone's cage
