Birds


Capo fret 2.



[A] [A] [D] [E] x4
[A]We are birds we, [D] [E]ran from the [A]water [D] [E]
[A]And birds we take off [D] [E]over the [A]ocean [D] [E]
We [D]fly in flock sometimes, [E]fly in a V
But [D]we can fly so low, [A]I can tell you [G]no
And a [D]sea fly [A]lands on the edge of your footprint
I'm [D]closer to [A]things on the [E]ground 
There were [A]flowers like lace, all [D]covering paths [E]
Like the [A]ones leading up to your [D]door [E]
They were [A]always there blooming and [D]spreading [E]
Well [A]how come I've never [D]seen them [E]before?
They [D]grow in a garden, or a [E]wild field
They're [D]bright and their [A]yellow
Oh, you [G]know 
You've [D]sung through [A]all of my sorrows
The [D]closest that [A]I could have [E]found
Now I've [D]floated down [A], from the top of my tears
And I'm [D]closer to [A]things on the [E]ground 
[A] [A] [D] [E] x2
And [A]most of this room is empty [D] [E]
And the [A]furniture that's left's rear[D]ranged [E]
And [A]I can't play you my [D]old songs, you [E]said
My [A]hand writing's changed [D] [E]
The [D]sofas are worn in, the [E]footstools are gone
The [D]lights set the room aglow [A] [G] 
And [D]taking [A]someone for granted sometimes
[D]One voice is [A]more than a [E]sound
It's like [D]hitting my[A]self in the face
Now I'm [D]closer to [A]things on the [E]ground 
[A] [Bm] [D] [E]
[A]We are birds we, [D] [E]ran from the [A]water [D] [E]
[A]And birds we take off [D] [E]over the [A]ocean [D] [E]
And we [A]fly [D] [E], we [A]fly [D] [E]
We [A]fly [D] [E] [D] [E]
