Intro: A  Em  D  A  Em  D  
  
Verse: 
    A                 Em  
how long before I get in  
                             D  
before it starts, before I begin  
    A                 Em  
how long before you decide  
                              D  
before I know what it feels like  
      A                 Em  
where to, where do I go  
                                       D  
if you never tried then you'll never know  
    A                    Em  
how long do I have to climb  
                                       D  
up on this side of this mountain of mine  
 
A  Em  D  A  Em  D   
 
     A                   Em  
look up, I look up at night  
                                      D  
planets are moving at the speed of light  
     A                Em  
come up, up in the trees  
                                              D  
every chance that you get is a chance you seize  
    A                Em  
how long am I gonna stand  
                             D  
with my head stuck under the sand  
     A                    Em  
I'll start before I can stop  
                                      D  
or before I see things the right way up  
 
Pre-Chorus: 
 G           A                   Bm  
   all that noise, all that sound  
 G             A                Bm  
  all those places that i got found  
 
Chorus: 
    G                      Bm  
and birds go flying at the speed of sound  
   D                 G  
to show how it all began  
 G                          Bm  
birds come flying from the underground  
             F#m                         G  
if you could see it then you'd understand

Verse: 
  A                       Em  
ideas that you'll never find 
                                  D  
all the inventors could never design 
    A                       Em  
the buildings that you put up  
                          D  
Japan and China all lit up  
    A                       Em  
the sign that I couldn't read  
                                D  
all the light that I couldn't see  
    A                         Em  
somethings you have to believe  
                                   D  
but others are puzzles, puzzling me  
  
Pre-Chorus:
 G           A                   Bm  
   all that noise, all that sound  
 G             A                Bm  
  all those places that i got found  
  
Chorus: 
    G                      Bm  
and birds go flying at the speed of sound  
   D                 G  
to show how it all began  
 G                          Bm  
birds come flying from the underground  
             F#m                         G  
if you could see it then you'd understand

Bridge: 
 G               A                       Bm  
 all those signs   I knew what they meant  
              Ddim  
 something you can't invent  
 G              A                  Bm  
 Some get made,  and some get sent 
 Ddim  
 ooh

to show how it all began  
 G                          Bm  
birds come flying from the underground  
             F#m                         G  
if you could see it then you'd understand

            F#m                     G          
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
