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
Dsus4
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
Dsus4
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
Dsus4
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
Dsus4
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
Dsus4
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
Dsus4
and most likely gonna get nowhere
