Capo: 7th Fret

Intro: light strumming

           G5
I've been living by the corner of the street for years
          D5
Where the younger boys and girls meet up
 G5
After school trying to act so cool
         D5
As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up

C5                  D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
C5                  D5
Oh, the times I've wasted

         G5
Spending countless days and eves on top
          D5
Of the boot and shoe repair shop
G5
Making plans for conquering the world
        D5
With my latest brand of indie-rock
C5                   D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
C5                   D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
          C5     G5          D5
But my country drowns in wealth
          C5     G5        D5
And I've got excellent health
                   G5
So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
     E5                        C5
Till someone's gonna shoot me down
       G5
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
       E5                      C5
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

        G5
For a life time been thinkin' about life and fate
     D5
Been avoiding all the big decisions
G5
Sitting by my computer screen
      D5
If I'm tired of it there's television
C5                    D5
Oh, the times I've wasted

G5
Sitting by the step for someone to stop
        D5
When it looks like I'm waiting for the sky to drop
G5
With everyday that's slippin' away
   D5
I'm stuck with just a lil' less time to say

  C5                  D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
  C5                  D5
Oh, the times I've wasted

         C5       G5         D5
But my country drowns in wealth
         C5       G5      D5
And I've got excellent health


                 G5
So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
     E5                        C5
Till someone's gonna shoot me down
       G5
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
       E5                      C5
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

    G5
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
       E5                      C5
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
C5                   D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
C5                    D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
C5                    D5
Oh, the times I've wasted
C5                 G5         D5       E5      C5
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...

                G5
So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
     E5                        C5
Till someone's gonna shoot me down
       G5
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
                          D5
I've been feeling like a bird
Been a bird ever since my birth
       E5                      C5         G5
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
