C                 G
Oh songbird in my darkest night
    F                 C
You sing so sweetly I can't be afraid
C                 G
Over my path your song casts a light
   F                 C
So bright, so real I won't lose my way

[Chorus]
Am                  C
I set true north by you
Am                    C
And so all directions too
Am                  C         G
Songbird what did I do before you
                     C
What did I do before you

[Verse 2]
C                 G
Oh songbird in my weariest day
  F                  C
A few clear notes is all I need
      C                     G
And I see without warning a precious ray
   F                      C
Of magic in each ordinary thing

[Chorus]
Am              C
You illuminate, renew
         Am             C
Take the sad out of the blue
Am                    C          G
Songbird what would I do without you
                        C
What would I do without you

[Verse 3]
C                               G
How'd you get so strong, such a little thing
           F                   C
Is it your song that makes you brave
   C                          G
My whole world rests on those tiny wings
        F                      C
But you don't seem to mind the weight

[Chorus]
Am                  C
I set true north by you
Am                    C
And so all directions too
Am                  C         G
Songbird what did I do before you
                     C
What did I do before you

You illuminate, renew

Songbird what would I do without you
