Verse
A# A#/F A# A#/F
hey little bird what did you do last night
A# A#/F D#
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
F
up in a tree with smile on your face
Fsus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
A# A#/F A# A#/F
hung over in my hammock on new years day
A# A#/F D#
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
F
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
Fsus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
A# A#/F A# A#/F
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
A# A#/F D#
you can fly away into the morning sun
F
while me & myself are stuck right here
Fsus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
A# A#/F A# A#/F
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
A# A#/F D#
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
F
God gave you a special purpose in life
Fsus4
I got one too but never got it right
A# A#/F A# A#/F
bird on the wire little friend of mine
A# A#/F D#
go and fly away into the morning light
F
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
Fsus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
A# A#/F A# A#/F
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
A# A#/F D#
you can fly away into the morning sun
F
while me & myself are stuck right here
Fsus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
