Cardinals Guitar Chords by The Wonder Years

[Verse 1]
(Fmaj)                                                  (Dmin)
Cardinal crashed into my window, I think he might die
                                             (Bbmaj)
I'll plan him a funeral, I'll read his last rites
                                                 (Cmaj)
'Cause I know what he saw in that reflection of light

On the glass was a better life


[Verse 2]
(Fmaj)
Staring at a hole in your chest
                           (Dmin)
That's been dug there for decades

American broken promises
(Bbmaj)
Caught between the lies you've been fed
                     (Cmaj)
And a war with your bloodstream
                                           (Fmaj)    (Dmin)   (Bbmaj)
I should have been there when you needed a friend
      (Cmaj)          (Fmaj)  (Dmin)  (Bbmaj)  (Cmaj)        (Fmaj)  (Dmin)  (Bbmaj)
I was off on my own a---gai-n
(Cmaj)                   (Fmaj)  (Dmin)  (Bbmaj)
Selfish and stupid


[Chorus]
           (Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
             (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
            (Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Verse 3]
(Fmaj)
I had that nightmare again
                  (Dmin)
You're seven and helpless, angry as hell
                        (Bbmaj)
And you balled up your fists but I laughed at your swings
                    (Cmaj)
And I beat you half-conscious
                                       (Fmaj)   (Dmin)  (Bbmaj)
I know that I failed you, woke up in a sweat
(Cmaj)             (Fmaj)     (Dmin)  (Bbmaj) (Cmaj)
I want those years back


[Chorus]
           (Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
            (Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Bridge]
(Fmaj)                (Dmin)
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers
(Fmaj)                (Dmin)
We're no saviors if we can't save our brothers


[Chorus]
           (Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
            (Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again


[Chorus]
           (Fmaj)
So if you call me back or let me in
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
            (Fmaj)
I know the devil you've been fighting with
              (Dmin)
I swear I'll never let you down again
      (Bbmaj)            (Cmaj)     (Fmaj)
I'll never let you down again
