A G
how long before i get in?
D A
before it starts , before i begin?
( A ) G
how long before you decide?
D A
before i know what it feels like?
( A ) G
where to , where do i go?
D A
if you never try , then you’ll never know .
( A ) G
how long do i have to climb ,
D A
up on the side of this mountain of mine?

instrumental

A G
look up , i look up at night
D A
planets are moving at the speed of light
( A ) G
climb up , up in the trees
D A
every chance that you get is a chance you seize
( A ) G
how long , Am i gonna stand
D A
with my head stuck under the sand?
( A ) G
i’ll start , before i can stop
D A
before i see things the right way up

pre – chorus :
G A Bm
all that noise , and all that sound ,
G A Bm
all those places i got found .

chorus :
G D
and birds go flying at the speed of sound ,
Bm G6
to show you how it all began .
G D
birds came flying from the underground ,
A G
if you could see it then you’d understand

instrumental

A G
ideas that you’ll never find
D A
or the inventers could never design
( A ) G
the buildings that you put up
D A
japan and china , all lit up
( A ) G
the sign that i couldn’t read
D A
or a light that i couldn’t see
( A ) G
some things you have to believe
D A
but others are puzzles , puzzling me .

pre – chorus :
G A Bm
all that noise , and all that sound ,
G A Bm
all those places i got found .

chorus :
G D
and birds go flying at the speed of sound ,
Bm G6
to show you how it all began .
G D
birds came flying from the underground ,
A G
if you could see it then you’d understand

bridge :
G A Bm
all those signs , i knew what they meant .
D
some things you can invent .
G A Bm G6
some get made , and some get sent , ooh

chorus :
G D
and words go flying at the speed of sound ,
Bm G6
to show you how it all began .
G D
birds came flying from the underground ,
A Bm
if you could see it then you’d understand
A G
if you could see it then you’d understand .
