-,,-,Fmaj4 x2
There are days I dont believe the words I say
Like a life that Im not living
A song that Im not singing but to you
There are times that I believe Im satisfied
Like an intimate connection
Despite this bad reception with you
Cause I cant afford to pay
For most of what I say
So its a lucky thing
That the truths public domain
And I am like a mockingbird
Ive got no new song to sing
And I am like an amplifier
I just tell you what Ive heard
Oh, Im like a mockingbird
And yes, its true that I need this more than you
Like one whose name is many
Have mercy, please dont send me away
And Ill do all I can
To be a better man
Oh Ill clean up this act
And be worse than we started
(Em7-Em)x4 hammer on
I'm like a mockingbird (x2)
