Intro
C# A#m F# C# A#m F#
[Verse 1]
C#
I feel like an echo waiting for a voice of its own
A#m F#
I am waiting in the darkness for a word
To take me home
C#
I feel like a broken shadow that is long since overgrown
A#m
F# skeleton that's kept my memories
F#
Written in it's bones
[Chorus]
C# F#
If Your eye is on the sparrow
A#m
If You're worried about the dove
D#
Have You heard all of my shouting?
Will You come down from above?
C# F#
If Your eye is on the sparrow
A#m
If You're worried about the bird
G# C#
Did You get all of my letters?
F#
Did You read my troubled words?
[Instrumental]
C# A#m F# C# A#m F#
[Verse 2]
C#
I feel like a dried-up fountain waiting for the rain to fall
To fill the cracks and holes and see if there is
F#
Hope for me at all
C#
I feel like an empty inkwell with nothing left to say
A#m
'Cause all the letters that I wrote to You have
F#
All been thrown away
[Chorus]
C# F#
If Your eye is on the sparrow
A#m
If You're worried about the dove
D#
Have You heard all of my shouting?
Will You come down from above?
C# F#
If Your eye is on the sparrow
A#m
If You're worried about the bird
G# C#
Did You get all of my letters?
F#
Did You read my troubled words?
[Chorus 2]
F#
But If Your eye is on the sparrow
C#
If You're worried about its wings
G#
Then I'm a fool to think
F#
That You'd ignore the worries that I sing
Rather if I hear an echo
C#
And if the shadow's there
G#
Then You must be on the other end
F#
To make these things appear
[Interlude]
C#
Oh, oh, ooh
D# A#m
Oh, oh, ooh
F# C#
Oh, oh, ooh
G# D#m
Oh, oh, ooh
[Outro]
F# C#
I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free
G# F#
His eye's on the sparrow and he watches over me
C#
Oh, I sing because I'm happy, I sing because I'm free
G# C#
His eye's on the sparrow and he watches over me
