If a bird can sing with a broken wing
You’ll learn to bend when the wind blows
The leaves may fall, but the trees stay tall
This is a bump in the road
Don’t give up, you will make it
Don’t give up, you will make it

We all must go through it sometime
You were not the first, you know
Love got more hooks than a fish line
Belive it hurts, oh-ooh

If a bird can sing with a broken wing
You’ll learn to bend when the wind blows
The leaves may fall, but the trees stay tall
This is a bump in the road
Don’t give up, you will make it
Don’t give up, you will make it

Out of the dark
Into the light
Over the edge
Over your life

We all must go through it sometime
You were not the first
You stick your head in the sunshine
Don’t expect the worst, oh-ooh

If a bird can sing with a broken wing
You’ll learn to bend when the wind blows
The leaves may fall, but the trees stay tall
This is a bump in the road
Don’t give up, you will make it
Don’t give up, you will make it

If the lies don’t touch you, the truth will
But if I can’t love you, then who will
When your friends are jumping ship
When your crown begins to slip
And loyalty’s not a virtue
Who are you gonna turn to
When you’ve seem to’ve lost your grip
And the road begins to rip

I held your hand, is this the thanks I get
I took you in, is this the thanks I get
Half a chance, the thanks I get
A twist of plans, is this the thanks I get

If the lies don’t touch you, the truth will
If I can’t love you, then who will
And your coming off your chill
When your ego takes a dip

I held your hand, is this the thanks I get
I took you in, is this the thanks I get
Half a chance, the thanks I get
A twist of plans, is this the thanks I get

The days hurts
The nights hurts
The light hurts
My eyes hurts
The darks hurts
My heart hurts
It all hurts

I loved you
I loved you
I made you
I hate you
I hate you
I miss you
Miss you

Oh-oh-ohh

The thanks I get
Is this the thanks I get

I had searched quite a bit for an accurate version of this this beautiful
song by Erik Hassle (pronounced Huss-leh) without any real luck. So when I
happened to spot him at the club Debaser at Medborgarplatsen, Stockholm,
I just had to grab him and ask for the chords. He was kind enough to scribble
the basic chords down on the back of a receipt for me, so this version should
be pretty accurate 🙂

Erik usually plays this song with a capo on 3rd fret and at live performances
sometimes even with a capo on 4th to make the song go in another key compared
to the recorded version. This version is for the recorded version but without
the use of a capo. I have seen a version on UG with a capo on 3rd that you
might want to check out if you want the “recorded feel” of the song.

Enjoy! /Fredrik Norman

Standard tuning, no capo

I used to laugh it off

I used to [F/A]look the other way

I used to save them troubles for another day

I kept my fingers crossed

I used to [F/A]never take the blame

I’d pull a sunshine story in a pouring rain

The more I had to change I’d just stay the same

The same, the same, I stayed the same

You don’t know what you got till you’re missing it a lot

I had to go throw it away

I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize

What I did to you was hurtful

What I’m going through is hurtful

I used to buy my time

I used to [F/A]beat around the bush

I’d rather give my ego another push

I used to be a fool

It was a [F/A]foolish game I played

And it’s a fool’s faith coming mistakes I made

Once I had it right it was all too late

Too late, too late, too little too late

You don’t know what you got till you’re missing it a lot

I had to go throw it away

I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize

What I did to you was hurtful

What I’m going through is hurtful

What I’m going through is hurtful

It is hurtful

It’s hurtful

[Eb-Gm-F-Eb]Oh-oh what I did to you

[Eb-Gm-F]What I did to you

What I did to you was hurtful

What I’m going through is hurtful

[Eb-Gm-F-Eb]

I was wrong from the start, from the bottom of my heart I apologize

What I did to you was hurtful

And What I’m going through is hurtful

Intro

Emilia, tell them how sorry I am
Emilia, this wasn’t part of the plan
This is the part that nobody mentions
I hope that you know all my intentions were true
All that I wanted was you

Go on, I will be fine
Go on, take all the time you need

This ain’t your fall, why don’t you listen
We’re different that’s all
That’s only so much I can do
All that I wanted was you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
All that I wanted was you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
All that I wanted was you
Only you …….

Emilia, won’t you remember the good
Emilia, we gave it all that we could
This is the part that nobody mentions
I hope that you know all my intentions were true
All that I wanted was you

Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
All that I wanted was you
Oh-oh-oh-oh-ohh
All that I wanted was you
Only you ……
