The Bird and The Worm
Owl City
Ocean Eyes
So, I watched one video of Adam Young doing this song live and I watched him placing his
capo, and the chords used and it was complicated, but these are really the most
accurate it could be. Hope, this works out for you! (:

Verse
A Amaj7
If you're the bird,
A6 A
Whenever we pretend it's summer,
Amaj7
Then I'm the worm,
A6 A
I know the part, it's such a bummer,
D5 D6
But fair is fair,
D D5
If my segments get separated,
F#m-F#mM7 E
I'll scream and you'll be there.
Verse 2
A Amaj7
Close your eyes(Close my eyes),
A6 A
Slide the cotton off of your shoulder,
Amaj7
And feel the shine(feel the shine),
A6 A
I'm hooked so toss me over,
D5 D6
And cast a line (oh I'll try),
D D5 F#m
Oh throw a party and greet my undersea friends (it depends),
E
As they arrive (if they arrive)

Chorus
A E Bm D
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind),
A E G D
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
A E F#m D
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
A E G5 D
With friends like these well, who needs enemies?
Interlude
A Amaj7 F#m D
Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah
Verse 3 (Same chords used in Verse 1 and 2)
If I'm your boy,
Let's take a short cut we remember,
And we'll enjoy,
Pickin' apples in late september
Like we've done for years,
Then we'll take a long walk through the cornfield,
And I'll kiss you, between the ears,
Verse 4
If you're my girl,
Swirl me around your room with feeling,
And as we twirl, the glow in the dark stars on your ceiling,
Will shine for us,
As love sweeps over the room,
Cause we tend to make each other blush (you make me blush)
Chorus
A E Bm D
You and I left our troubles far behind (troubles far behind),
A E G D
But I still have just one more question on my mind,
A E F#m D
For all my pals who live in all the oceans and the seas,
A E G5 D
With friends like these well, who needs anenomies?
Bridge
F#m Faug E6
You're the bird and I'm the worm,
Gaug D/F# A D/F# E D
And it's plain to see that we were meant to be
Cota:
A Amaj7 F#m D
(Da dat dah da da da da da da dat dah)
We were meant to be
