Birds

Intro: G A Bb B Bb A G Fmaj7+9 C }x2

G
There's some things I don't have now
Bb Bbsus2 Bb
Some things I don't talk about
C G
These things are between myself and I
F C Csus4 G
In my thick skull the joker hides

There's consequences I'm scared to taste
Cold hard truths I can't face
These days are different than the past
Reflections change in the looking glass

F C F/C C G
And everywhere I look there's something to learn
F C Csus4 G
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn
F C F C G
A hatful of quarters and a naked song
F C D G/D D
Don't answer the question of where we belong

G
How come birds
C G
Don't fall from the sky when they die?
Eb
How come birds
F
Always look for a quiet place to hide
G
These words
C G
Can't explain what I feel inside?
Eb F G A Bb B Bb A G Fmaj7+9 C
Like birds I need a quiet place to hide

G A Bb B Bb A G Fmaj7+9 C

These independent moves I make
This confidence I try to fake
You can hear the beating of my heart
But not a feather falling in the dark

And everything I hear never makes any sense
Another old prophet perched on the fence
A cupful of pencils and a self help guru
Don't answer the question of what I am to you
