G D G
Looking at a picture of a bird
D C
From a series of books about the sea
And the life above and in it
Bb G
Looking at a picture of a bird
[Verse 1]
D G
Staring out the window
D C
Of an elevated train in a storm
Of blossoms and debris
Bb G
Staring out the window
D G
Looking at a jumble of words
D C
From something that you once wrote to me
You said, "I'll never leave"
Bb G
Still you're looking at the jumble
[Bridge]
Em
G Em
Everybody's gotten their hearts burnt
G C
From the turnpikes to the mud roads
A C
They got nothing left to die for
D
And they got nothing left to run from
[Verse 2]
G
D G
Heading past the ring road
D C
To the place where you came from you see
It's not your destiny
Bb C G
Still you're heading past the ring road
D G
Looking into windows
D C
People got their fires lit today
Gonna find your own cave
Bb C G
Where you'll be looking at a picture of a bird
[Chorus]
D G
Looking at a picture of a bird
D C
From a series of books about the sea
And life above and in
Bb C G
Looking at a picture of a bird
