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

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