For the record, I blame myself

It went on and on, I let me lose

All the best, I made it through

It went on and on and on without you
FG
On and on and on and on
[Chorus]AmFC
Could you let me down?
G
I don't feel it now
AmFCG
I'm letting my head collapse
on itself
AmFC
Could you need me now?
G
I can't see how
AmFCG
I think I'm forgetting how
to breathe out
[Post-Chorus]CFGx2[Verse 2]CFG
For the record, I've made my hell
CFG
It goes on and on, I let it bloom
CFG
For the best, I'll stay in my room
C
'Cause I'll be better in the morning
FG
And it goes on and on and on and on
[Chorus]AmFC
Could you let me down?
G
I don't feel it now
AmFCG
I'm letting my head collapse
on itself
AmFC
Could you need me now?
G
I can't see how
AmFCG
I think I'm forgetting how
to breathe out

How to play Birdcage: key, chords and progression
These are the chords for Birdcage by Novo Amor on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar, and Keyboard
To play Birdcage by Novo Amor, think in C major (no sharps or flats). It takes 4 chords: C, F, G and Am.
Most of the song cycles through G – Am – F – C (V – vi – IV – I in C major), a rotation of the “four-chord” pop progression (I–V–vi–IV). In solfa, that is soh – lah – fah – doh. Get these 4 changes smooth and the rest comes quickly.
Easier on guitar: put a capo on the 5th fret and play the shapes G, C, D, Em (100% of the chords become easy open shapes, against 75% without a capo). It sounds exactly the same.
