1st verse :
– – – – – – – – – –

Asus2 B7 E A
tell me do , something true , true of you and me
Edim A7m Am B7
that we’re too busy living through , too busy to see .
Asus2 B7 E A
what is it that we do makes us what we are
Edim A7m Am B7
if we sing are we nightingales , shine are we stars ?

chorus :
– – – – – – –

Asus2 B7 E A7m
who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
Am7 G7m Fdim
growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Asus2 B7 E
stranger things have been , stranger things have gone ,
A7m Am7
i find it hard right now to name you one
G7m Fdim
tell me do something true and drop the fairytales .
Asus2 B7 E
if singin’ birds must sing , with no question of choice
A7m Am7
then livin’ is our song , indeed our voice
G7m Fdim
best agree you and me we’re probably nightingales

2nd verse :
– – – – – – – – – –

Asus2 B7 E A
god’s a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
Edim A7m Am B7
with a fear that is biblical under our hats
