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

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