        1st verse:
        ----------

A5         B5              E5                               A5
            Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
               E5   A5                              A5        B5
            That we're too busy living through, too busy to see.
A5         B5         E5                            A5
            What is it that we do makes us what we are
          E5       A5                          A5           B5
            If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?

        CHORUS:
        -------

A5         B5               E5                 A5   
            Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
A5                                        G5       F5
            Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
A5                    B5                         E5  
            Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
                         A5                   A5 
            I find it hard right now to name you one
                                             G5       F5
            Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
A5                      B5                       E5                 
            If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
                       A5                      A5 
            Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
                                                                                G5           F5
            Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales


        2nd verse:
        ----------

A5             B5          E5                             A5
            God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
           E5       A5        A5        B5
            With a fear that is biblical under our hats
