[Verse]
D Am
how long before I get in
G
before it starts, before I begin
D Am
how long before you decide
G
before I know what it feels like
D Am
where to, where do I go
G
if you never tried then you'll never know
D Am
how long do I have to climb
G
up on this side of this mountain of mine
D Am G D Am G
D Am
look up, I look up at night
G
planets are moving at the speed of light
D Am
come up, up in the trees
G
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
D Am
how long am I gonna stand
G
with my head stuck under the sand
D Am
I'll start before I can stop
G
or before I see things the right way up
[Pre-Chorus]

all that noise, all that sound
C D Em
all those places that i got found
[Chorus]
C Em
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
G C
to show how it all began
C Em
birds come flying from the underground
Bm C
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Instrumental]
D Am G D Am G
[Verse]
D Am
ideas that you'll never find
G
all the inventors could never design
D Am
the buildings that you put up
G
Japan and China all lit up
D Am
the sign that I couldn't read
G
all the light that I couldn't see
D Am
somethings you have to believe
G
but others are puzzles, puzzling me
[Pre-Chorus]
C D Em
all that noise, all that sound

all those places that i got found
[Chorus]

and birds go flying at the speed of sound
G C
to show how it all began

birds come flying from the underground
Bm C G
if you could see it then you'd understand
[Bridge]
C D Em
all those signs I knew what they meant
A
something you can't invent
C D Em
Some get made, and some get sent
A
ooh
[Chorus]

and birds go flying at the speed of sound

birds come flying from the underground

Bm C
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
