Birdhouse In Your Soul They Might Be Giants

C F Eb G

I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little

Bb Eb Db G C-----

glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am –

C F C F

Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you?

C Am G Eb

make a little birdhouse in your soul

Ab Eb Ab

not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Eb Ab G C F C F

make a little birdhouse in your soul

C F C F

I have a secret to tell from my electrical well

C G C7 F G

it's a simple message and I'm leaving out the whistles and bells

C F C F

so the room must listen to me - filibuster vigilantly

C G C7 F G

my name is blue canary - one note spelled l-i-t-e

Am Am+ Am6 Am+ G

My story's infinite like the Longines Symphonette it doesn’t rest

(Chorus)

Am Am+ Am6 Am+ F#m F#m+ F#m6 F#m+ E D A E

A D C E

I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little

G C Bb G

glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -

C F C F

There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry

C G C7 F G

which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free

C F C F

though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job

C G C7 F G

after killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

Am Am+ Am6 Am+ G

Bluebird of friendliness - like guardian angels it's always near

(Chorus)

F C F C G Am G

And while you're at it - leave the night light on inside the birdhouse in your soul

Eb Ab Eb Ab

not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet

Eb Ab G C

make a little birdhouse in your soul

(Chorus) with: and while you’re at it

leave the night light on inside

the birdhouse in your soul
