G A Bb B Bb A G Fmaj7+9 C
G A Bb B Bb A G Fmaj7+9 C
There's someG things I don't have now
BbSome things I don't talk about Bbsus2 Bb
These thinCgs are between myself and I G
In my thFick skull the joker C Csus4 hides G
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
And evFerywhere I look therCe's something toF/C learCn G
A sFliver of truth from every briCdge wCsus4e burn G
A Fhatful of quaCrters and a Fnaked soCng G
Don't anFswer the questionC of where we Dbelong G/D D
How come birds G
Don't fall from the sky wheCn they die' G
How come birds Eb
Always look for a quiet plFace to hide
These worGds
Can't explain what I feel iCnside' G
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
