Verse
D D/A D D/A
hey little bird what did you do last night
D D/A G
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
A
up in a tree with smile on your face
Asus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
D D/A D D/A
hung over in my hammock on new years day
D D/A G
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
A
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
Asus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
D D/A D D/A
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
D D/A G
you can fly away into the morning sun
A
while me & myself are stuck right here
Asus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
D D/A D D/A
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
D D/A G
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
A
God gave you a special purpose in life
Asus4
I got one too but never got it right
D D/A D D/A
bird on the wire little friend of mine
D D/A G
go and fly away into the morning light
A
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
Asus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
D D/A D D/A
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
D D/A G
you can fly away into the morning sun
A
while me & myself are stuck right here
Asus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
