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