This is the chord progression of Suicide Birds by Mars Argo on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

Am                                        Am6
She was feeling faint when the smoke hit
Em
Dizzy with the smell of perfume
Am                               Am6
Hiding from her family that she missed
Em
Cold and all alone in her room

[Chorus]
A
The bird flew into the window
Em
And he heard the same song in our heads
Am                               Am6
I often wonder what it would feel like
C                                       B7
To be free again, free again
Am                               Am6
We were building courses for horses
Em
Make believe with me by your side
Am                               Am6
She grew up a week before I did
Em
My mother said that it wasn’t right

[Chorus]
A
The bird flew into the window
Em
And he heard the same song in our heads
Am                                              Am6
I often wonder what it would feel like
C                               B7
To be free again, free again
Am
Memories fade
B7                               Em                               Am
But they bring you back to the good old days
Am                                              Em
But the good old days will never be the same
Am                Am6                               Em
I sang a song I wrote for you yesterday
Am
But you didn’t hear it
Am6                               Em
You didn’t hear it anyway

Am                Am6                Em
Anyway, oh, anyway-ay-ay
Am          Am6      Em
Anyway, oh, anyway
Am6
It’s just the good,
Em
It’s just the good old days
