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

Walk across the room
