I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little

glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -
B
Chorus:
B E
B E
Blue canary in the outlet by the light switch who watches over you?
B F# G#m F#
make a little birdhouse in your soul
D G D G
not to put too fine a point on it - say I'm the only bee in your bonnet
D Bm G F#
make a little birdhouse in your soul
B E B E
B E B E
I have a secret to tell from my electrical well
B F# B7 E F#
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
(Chorus)
Instrumental/Bridge:
G#m G#m+ G#m6 G#m+
Fm Fm+ Fm6 Fm+
Eb Db Ab Eb
G# C# B D#
I'm your only friend - I'm not your only friend - but I'm a little
F# B A F#
glowing friend - but really I'm not actually your friend - but I am -
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)

D Bm G F#
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 (3)
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 3
