Verse
B B/F# B B/F#
hey little bird what did you do last night
B B/F# E
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
F#
up in a tree with smile on your face
F#sus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
B B/F# B B/F#
hung over in my hammock on new years day
B B/F# E
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
F#
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
F#sus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
B B/F# B B/F#
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
B B/F# E
you can fly away into the morning sun
F#
while me & myself are stuck right here
F#sus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
B B/F# B B/F#
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
B B/F# E
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
F#
God gave you a special purpose in life
F#sus4
I got one too but never got it right
B B/F# B B/F#
bird on the wire little friend of mine
B B/F# E
go and fly away into the morning light
F#
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
F#sus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
B B/F# B B/F#
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
B B/F# E
you can fly away into the morning sun
F#
while me & myself are stuck right here
F#sus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
