Verse
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
hey little bird what did you do last night
C# C#/G# F#
when the fireworks were lighting up the sky?
G#
up in a tree with smile on your face
G#sus4
telling sick jokes about the human race
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
hung over in my hammock on new years day
C# C#/G# F#
looking for a sign in the clouds someway
G#
but only grey skies could prove me wrong
G#sus4
until you came along and you sang me this song
[Chorus]
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
C# C#/G# F#
you can fly away into the morning sun
G#
while me & myself are stuck right here
G#sus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
[Verse]
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
I guess you don't know why you're the lucky one
C# C#/G# F#
‘see from above and flyin' must be fun
G#
God gave you a special purpose in life
G#sus4
I got one too but never got it right
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
bird on the wire little friend of mine
C# C#/G# F#
go and fly away into the morning light
G#
I hope you don't find me sittin' here next year
G#sus4
waiting for the day I'm gonna get somewhere
[Chorus]
C# C#/G# C# C#/G#
bird on the wire you're the lucky one
C# C#/G# F#
you can fly away into the morning sun
G#
while me & myself are stuck right here
G#sus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
