[Verse]
D# A#m
how long before I get in
G#
before it starts, before I begin
D# A#m
how long before you decide
G#
before I know what it feels like
D# A#m
where to, where do I go
G#
if you never tried then you'll never know
D# A#m
how long do I have to climb
G#
up on this side of this mountain of mine
D# A#m G# D# A#m G#
D# A#m
look up, I look up at night
G#
planets are moving at the speed of light
D# A#m
come up, up in the trees
G#
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
D# A#m
how long am I gonna stand
G#
with my head stuck under the sand
D# A#m
I'll start before I can stop
G#
or before I see things the right way up
[Pre-Chorus]
C# D# Fm
all that noise, all that sound
C# D# Fm
all those places that i got found
[Chorus]
C# Fm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
G# C#
to show how it all began
C# Fm
birds come flying from the underground
Cm C#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Instrumental]
D# A#m G# D# A#m G#
[Verse]
D# A#m
ideas that you'll never find
G#
all the inventors could never design
D# A#m
the buildings that you put up
G#
Japan and China all lit up
D# A#m
the sign that I couldn't read
G#
all the light that I couldn't see
D# A#m
somethings you have to believe
G#
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
[Pre-Chorus]
C# D# Fm
all that noise, all that sound
C# D# Fm
all those places that i got found
[Chorus]
C# Fm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
G# C#
to show how it all began
C# Fm
birds come flying from the underground
Cm C# G#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Bridge]
C# D# Fm
all those signs I knew what they meant
A#
something you can't invent
C# D# Fm
Some get made, and some get sent
A#
ooh
[Chorus]
C# Fm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
G# C#
to show how it all began
C# Fm
birds come flying from the underground
Cm C#
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Outro]
Cm C#
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
