[Opening]
[E]While everybody else is getting out of [A]bed I’m usually getting in it
I’m not [E]in it to win it and there’s a [A]thousand ways you can skin it
[E]My feet have been on the floor [A]flat like an idle singer
Remember [E]winger I digress I [A]con-fess you are the best thing in my [E]life
But I’m afraid when I hear [A]stories about a husband and wife
There’s no [E]happy endings no Henry Lee, but [E7]you are the greatest thing about me

[chorus]
[E]If it’s [B]love, and we [C#m]decide that it’s forever
No one [A]else could do it [B]better, [E]if it’s [B]love
And we’re [C#m]two birds of a feather, then the [A]rest is just [B]whatever
And [E]if I’m addicted to loving you, [B]and you’re addicted to my love too
[C#m]We can be them two birds of a [A]feather, that [B]flock together [E]

[chorus]
[F#m]Love, [G#m]love, got to have [A]something to keep us [E]together
[F#m]Love, [G#m]love, that’s [A]enough for me

[verse 2]
[E]Took a loan on a house I own [A]can’t be a queen bee without a bee throne
[E]I wanna buy ya everything [A]except cologne ’cause it’s poison
[E]We can travel to Spain where the rain falls [A]mainly on the plain sounds insane
‘Cause it [E]is we can laugh we can sing, have ten [A]kids and give them everything
Hold our [E]cell phones up in the air, and just be [A]glad we made it here alive
On a [E]spinning ball in the middle of space, I [B]love you from your toes to your face

[chorus]
[E]If it’s [B]love, and we [C#m]decide that it’s forever
No one [A]else could do it [B]better, [E]if it’s [B]love
And we’re [C#m]two birds of a feather, then the [A]rest is just [B]whatever
And [E]if I’m addicted to loving you, [B]and you’re addicted to my love too
[C#m]We can be them two birds of a [A]feather, that [B]flock together [E]

[verse 3]
You can [C#m]move in, I won’t ask where [A]you’ve been
‘Cause [E]everybody has a [B]past, when we’re [C#m]older
We’ll do it all [A]over [E]a-gain

[Closing]
[E]When everybody else is getting out of [A]bed I’m usually getting in it
I’m not [E]in it to win it, I’m in it [A]for you

[chorus]
[E]If it’s [B]love, and we’re [C#m]two birds of a feather
Then the [A]rest is just [B]what[E]ever [B] [C#m]then the [A]rest is just [B]whatever
[E]If it’s [B]love, and we [C#m]decide that it’s forever, no one [A]else could do it [B]better
And [E]if I’m addicted to loving you, [B]and you’re addicted to my love too
[C#m]We can be them two birds of a [A]feather, that [B]flock [E]together

[chorus]
