Jailbirds by Cold War Kids Guitar Chords

[Verse 1]
Bm                  A           G
The sun is rising so late, it's early
Bm                      A      G
I have spread myself too thin again
Bm                      A      G
The guest of honor at my guilty party
Bm                      A          G
Me and this silence have become old friends

[Chorus]
G                   D        A
Father make believe for your daughters
G                   D       A
Mother take it easy on your sons
G                     D         A
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
Em                       G	    A
But for now you've got to keep them young

[Instrumental]
Bm

[Verse 2]
Bm	        A       G
My solitude it makes me softer
Bm		A      G
My suffering is not in vain
Bm                   A        G
My depression sings, "how much longer
Bm                    A
Will I have to wait to see a world free from pain?"

[Chorus]
G                   D        A
Father make believe for your daughters
G                   D       A
Mother take it easy on your sons
G                     D         A
Sister balance like a tightrope walker
Em                       G	    A
But for now you've got to keep them young

Mother take it easy on your sons
