1st verse:
----------
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
Edim (3423xx@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Am (x02210@1) B7 (x21202@1) That we're too busy living through, too busy to see.
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) What is it that we do makes us what we are
Edim (3423xx@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Am (x02210@1) B7 (x21202@1) If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?
CHORUS:
-------
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1) Am7 (x02010@1)
Who are we ? what we got ? are we afirework (x02210@1)show ?
Am7 (x02010@1) Gm7 Fdim (1201xx@1) Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1)
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
Am7 (x02010@1) Am7 (x02010@1) I find it hard right now to name you one
Gm7 Fdim (1201xx@1) Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1)
If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
Am7 (x02010@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Gm7 Fdim (1201xx@1) Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales
2nd verse:
----------
Asus2 (x02200@1) B7 (x21202@1) E (022100@1) A (x02220@1) God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
Edim (3423xx@1) Am7 (x02010@1) Am (x02210@1) B7 (x21202@1) With a fear that is biblical under our hats
