D'Do (xx0232@1)you mean the attack is routine?'
  E (022100@1)             BA (x2444x@1)bird asked of a bird
    D'In (xx0232@1)this context, a concave nest,
E (022100@1)                BHow (x2444x@1)do we learn to hurt?'

D, E, B

D'Do (xx0232@1)you mean there's no variation?'
         E (022100@1)            B (x2444x@1)      DWatching (xx0232@1)a dog charge a flock of birds
Exploding in congregation
E (022100@1)                B'Why (x2444x@1)plan; when we stop?'

D'I (xx0232@1)dunno... but why suppose
     E (022100@1)                   BIt's (x2444x@1)not the way it should be?
            DWhen (xx0232@1)you can fly above
The great waiting list,'

    B'We (x2444x@1)won't be missed,

G, D, F#m, G

AIt's (x02220@1)a routine flight for this bird tonight
There's more worms than earth in the afterlife
Where the blind feed the blind,
                        F#m (244222@1)         GWhispering (320003@1)things like 'On the money' and 'Bullseye'
AShe (x02220@1)picks up the little leaves
Where human wrecks are left to seed
Left to repaint their deities
    F#m (244222@1)              GAnd (320003@1)plaster away at their villainies

              E (022100@1)         BWhere (x2444x@1)there's love, there's hope
        D'And (xx0232@1)do you hope those earthbound poets
      E (022100@1)                      BCould (x2444x@1)learn to sing as good as us?
D (xx0232@1)                      ESo (022100@1)we can sit back and enjoy our illusions
BAnd (x2444x@1)our quietus?'
      D'Well (xx0232@1)I don't know... but why suppose
     E (022100@1)                   BIt's (x2444x@1)not the way it should be?
             DWhen (xx0232@1)you can squawk
And wait for word from above
    E (022100@1)                  BAnd (x2444x@1)change yourself into something you love
         D (xx0232@1)       EWhen (022100@1)you leave?'
