(F  Dm  Gm  C)

Too many birds in one tree 
Too many birds in one tree 
And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves 
The sky is full of black and screaming 

And one more bird 
Then one more bird 
And one last bird 
And another 

One last black bird without a place to land 
One last black bird without a place to be 
Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest 
Oh black bird, over black rain burn 
This is not where you last knew rest 
You fly all night to sleep on stone 
The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone 
You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds 
Too many birds 
Too many birds 

If... 
If you... 
If you could... 
If you could only... 
If you could only stop... 
If you could only stop your... 
If you could only stop your heart... 
If you could only stop your heart beat... 
If you could only stop your heart beat for... 
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart... 
If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.
