Intro
D#
Spoken:
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
Then they flap their wings at the last second
D# G# A# D# G# A#
[Verse]
D# G# A# D#
You see, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
G# A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
Then they flap their wings at the last second
D# G# A#
I can see their dead weight
D# G#
Just dropping like stones
A# D# G# A#
Or small loaves of bread
D# G# A#
Past my window all the time
D# G# A# D#
But unless I get up
G# A#
Walk across the room
D# G# A# D#
And peer down below
G# A# D#
I
G# A# D# G#
Don't see their last-second curves
A# D# G#
Toward a horizontal flight
A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
D# G# A#
Now due to a construct in my mind
D# G# A#
That makes their falling and their flight
D# G# A# D# G#
Symbolic of my entire existence
A# D# G# A#
It becomes important for me
D# G#
To get up and see
A# D# G# A# D#
Their last-second curves toward flight
G# A# D# G#
It's almost as if my life would fall
A# D# G# A#
Unless I see their ascent
[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
D# G# A# D#
Birds fall from the window ledge above mine
G# A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
Then they flap their wings at the last second
D# G# A# D#
I said, birds fall from the window ledge above mine
D# G# A# D#
But unless I get up
G# A#
Walk across the room
D# G# A# D#
And peer down below
G# A# D#
I
G# A# D# G#
Won't see their last-second curves
A# D# G#
Toward a horizontal flight
A# D# G# A# D# G# A#
All these birds just falling from the ledge like stones
D# G# A#
Now due to a construct in my mind
D# G# A#
That makes their falling and their flight
D# G# A# D# G#
Symbolic of my entire existence
A# D# G# A#
It becomes important for me
D# G#
To get up and see
A# D# G# A# D#
Their last-second curves toward flight
G# A# D# G# A#
It's almost as if my life would fall
D#
My life would fall
G# A# D# G# A#
Unless I see their
D# G# A# D# G# A#
Ascent
