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