Fly away

I set the table for the ghosts in my home

My home
E7
And pour the wine and raise a glass
Em Am
For the guests in my home
[Verse 3]
Am Em
They enter in, in their skin and in their bones
Em7
Still in their bones
E7 Em7
The vision scares, but none compares
Am
To the dread of drinking alone
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
After the tower was turned to a tomb
F
The underworld refugees all
Am
Were refused by the banker
F
They can never go in
E
So I let them in
E7 Am
Ah-ha, city bird
[Verse 4]

City bird
Fly away
Am
From my window
From my window

'Cause you don't sing

Like the birds from home sing

Your song is dying

[Verse 5]
E Am Em7
I light the candle for the ghosts in my home
E7
My home
And say a prayer to please send care
Em Am
For the guests in my home
[Verse 6]
E7
But in their sleep, they claw and scream "the Devil home"
E
"The devil's come home"
E7
But that nightmare does not compare
Am
To the demons in sleeping alone
[Chorus]
Fmaj7 Am
After the tower was turned to a tomb

The underworld refugees all

Were refused by the banker

They can never go in

So I let them in

Ah-ha, city bird

Fly away

From my window

From my window
