Verse
F F/C F F/C
hey little bird what did you do last night
F F/C A#
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
C
up in a tree with smile on your face
Csus4
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 A#
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
C
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
Csus4
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 A#
you can fly away into the morning sun
C
while me & myself are stuck right here
Csus4
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 A#
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
C
God gave you a special purpose in life
Csus4
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 A#
go and fly away into the morning light
C
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
Csus4
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 A#
you can fly away into the morning sun
C
while me & myself are stuck right here
Csus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
