[Verse]
A# Fm
how long before I get in
D#
before it starts, before I begin
A# Fm
how long before you decide
D#
before I know what it feels like
A# Fm
where to, where do I go
D#
if you never tried then you'll never know
A# Fm
how long do I have to climb
D#
up on this side of this mountain of mine
A# Fm D# A# Fm D#
A# Fm
look up, I look up at night
D#
planets are moving at the speed of light
A# Fm
come up, up in the trees
D#
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
A# Fm
how long am I gonna stand
D#
with my head stuck under the sand
A# Fm
I'll start before I can stop
D#
or before I see things the right way up
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A# Cm
all that noise, all that sound
G# A# Cm
all those places that i got found
[Chorus]
G# Cm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
D# G#
to show how it all began
G# Cm
birds come flying from the underground
Gm G#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
A# Fm
ideas that you'll never find
D#
all the inventors could never design
A# Fm
the buildings that you put up
D#
Japan and China all lit up
A# Fm
the sign that I couldn't read
D#
all the light that I couldn't see
A# Fm
somethings you have to believe
D#
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
[Pre-Chorus]
G# A# Cm
all that noise, all that sound
G# A# Cm
all those places that i got found
[Chorus]
G# Cm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
D# G#
to show how it all began
G# Cm
birds come flying from the underground
Gm G# D#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Bridge]
G# A# Cm
all those signs I knew what they meant
F
something you can't invent
G# A# Cm
Some get made, and some get sent
F
ooh
[Chorus]
G# Cm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
D# G#
to show how it all began
G# Cm
birds come flying from the underground
Gm G#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Outro]
Gm G#
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
