     I have a secret to tell   from my electrical well

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

so the room must listen to me - filibuster vigilantly
my name is blue canary - one note spelled l-i-t-e


G#m            G#m+     G#m6                   G#m+
    My story's infinite      like the Longines Symphonette

    F#
it doesn't rest

  F#                   B             A              F#
glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -



2.
There's a picture opposite me of my primitive ancestry
which stood on rocky shores and kept the beaches shipwreck free
though I respect that a lot I'd be fired if that were my job
after killing Jason off and countless screaming argonauts

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



Chorus (1):

  make a little birdhouse in your soul



Chorus (2):
B       E                    B                   E
  And while you're at it - leave the night light on inside

     B   /    F#      G#m  /  F#
the birdhouse in your soul

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



Chorus (both parts):
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch   And while you're at it,
who watches over you?                           leave the night light on inside
make a little birdhouse in your soul            the birdhouse in your soul

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


(Repeat chorus with both parts)
