        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
