Standard (EADGBE)
It might sound funny
But when your heart is nearly-new
You say I'll try; but never do
I'll try to get there in the end
The cuckoo is a pretty bird
It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard
And it reminds me how you stole into my heart
And took everything away
way
It's outrageous
It's disgraceful
How could we ever have been so tasteful?
I know we said we won't
But you can call me if you want
And you know I'm always there
I thought you'd like to know
I still think you are the most
But you left me living here
Married to a ghost
Then, it gets so cold at night-time
Never knew it got so cold at night-time
Sometimes dreams come true:
One night when the moon is blue
And I may come to you
With a love that's nearly-new
Oh, my love
I've tried to love you
But I guess I'm out of practice
And practicing is Strictly for the birds
The cuckoo is a pretty bird
It sings the sweetest song I've ever heard
And it reminds me how you stole into my [Dmheart
And then threw everything away
And you say:
It's outrageous
It's so shoddy
The way you're making love to someone else's body
And my flesh can go and crawl
Halfway up the bedroom wall
And you know I'm always there
I thought you'd like to know
I still think you are the most
But you left me living here
Married to a ghost
Then, it gets so cold at night-time
Never knew it got so cold at night-time
Sometimes dreams come true:
One night when the moon is blue
And I may come to you
With a love that's nearly-new
