Em D
before i know what it feels like
A Em
where to , where do i go
Em D
if you never tried then you’ll never know
A Em
how long do i have to climb
Em D
up on this side of this mountain of mine

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

G A Bm
all that noise , all that sound
G A Bm
all those places that i got found
G Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound
F#m G
to show you how it all began
G Bm
birds come flying from the underground
F#m G
if you could see it then you’d understand

A Em
ideas that you’ll never find
Em D
all the inventors could never design
A Em
the buildings that you put up
Em D
japan and china were all lit up
A Em
the sign that i couldn’t read
Em D
or the light that i couldn’t see
A Em
somethings you have to believe
Em D
but others are puzzles , puzzling me

G A B
all that noise , all that sound
G A Bm
all those places that i got found
G Bm

birds come flying from the underground
F#m G
if you could see it then you’d understand

G A Bm E
all those signs i knew what they meant something you can’t invent
G A Bm E
some get made and some get sent , ooo – oooh

G A Bm
all that noise , all that sound
G A Bm

G Bm
and birds go flying at the speed of sound

birds come flying from the underground
F#m G

F#m G
oh if you could see it then you’d understand
