Verse
A A/E A A/E
hey little bird what did you do last night
A A/E D
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
E
up in a tree with smile on your face
Esus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
A A/E A A/E
hung over in my hammock on new years day
A A/E D
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
E
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
Esus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
A A/E A A/E
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
A A/E D
you can fly away into the morning sun
E
while me & myself are stuck right here
Esus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
A A/E A A/E
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
A A/E D
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
E
God gave you a special purpose in life
Esus4
I got one too but never got it right
A A/E A A/E
bird on the wire little friend of mine
A A/E D
go and fly away into the morning light
E
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
Esus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
A A/E A A/E
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
A A/E D
you can fly away into the morning sun
E
while me & myself are stuck right here
Esus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
