Blindly Believing--The Waifs
**Capo on the 3rd fret**
[Intro]
G D C x2
[Verse 1]
G D
I picked her up in a January storm
G C
She was breathing the coldest air she'd ever known
G F C
Carrying the sun on her skin from a home far away
G D
I didn't know what she was leaving behind
G C
But I could tell from her face she had trouble in her mind
G F C
The years had been kind, but her eyes didn't shine anymore
[Chorus]
G D
She said dirty little birds with dirty little wings
G C
That fly through the night to other pretty things
G D C
I called hime today and said I was leaving
G D
Ooh dirty little birds with dirty little claws
G C
That scratch at my heart, saying love's forever
G F C
More the fool I am for blindly believing
D
I was blindly believing
[Fill]
G D C x1
[Verse 2]
G D
Well she took off her coat, pulled out a chair
G C Em
She fixes me with an empty stare
F C
Says "It's sure wild out"
G D
Something about the tremble in her voice
G C
Toys with a man's easy choices
G F C
Tomorrow's choice will make everything alright
[Chorus]
G D
She said dirty little birds with dirty little wings
G C
That fly through the night to other pretty things
G D C
I called hime today and said I was leaving
G D
Ooh dirty little birds with dirty little claws
G C
That scratch at my heart, saying love's forever
G F C
More the fool I am for blindly believing
D
I was blindly believing
[Bridge]
Em C G D Am
In a dream, in a web, in a breath of poison words, a cold wind howls
Em G Am C
Love's a dirty, little dirty...
[Chorus]
G D
She said dirty little birds with dirty little wings
G C
That fly through the night to other pretty things
G D C
I called hime today and said I was leaving
G D
Ooh dirty little birds with dirty little claws
G C
That scratch at my heart, saying love's forever
G F C
More the fool I am for blindly believing
D
I was blindly believing
