1st verse:
----------
Asus2 B7 E A
Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
Edim Am7 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 Am7 Am B7
If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?
CHORUS:
-------
Asus2 B7 E Am7
Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
Am7 Gm7 Fdim
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Asus2 B7 E
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
Am7 Am7
I find it hard right now to name you one
Gm7 Fdim
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
Asus2 B7 E
If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
Am7 Am7
Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Gm7 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 Am7 Am B7
With a fear that is biblical under our hats
CHORUS
