D C9 F D G F (2X)
[Verse]
D C9 F
I really had to go downtown
D G F
Go downtown and hang around
D G Bb
Was not prepared for what I found
D G F G F Am G
A baby bird was lyin' on the ground
[Verse]
D C9 F
Lying there in front of my feet
D G F
Dying there right next to the street
D G Bb
I picked it up and felt it's heat
D G F G F Am G
I tried to wake her up but she wanted to sleep
[Chorus]
D
I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
Am7
But I can't get away from the thought
D
It's dying, it's dying, it's dying
Am7
And it's something that I couldn't stop
D
You're lying, you're lying, if you say
Am7 Am C B A D
It's gonna make it 'cos I know that it's not
[Verse]
D C9 F
Hanging on a telephone line
D G F
Witnessing a million crimes
D G Bb
I've been alone all this time
D G F G F Am G
I'd call someone but I don't have a dime
[Verse]
D C9 F
I don't care for boys or girls
D G F
I'd rather hang around with the birds
D G Bb
Humans only wreck the world
D G F G F Am G
They'd kill your whole family for a string of pearls
[Chorus]
D
I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
Am7
But I can't get away from the thought
D
It's dying, it's dying, it's dying
Am7
And it's something that I couldn't stop
D
You're lying, you're lying, if you say
Am7 Am C B A D
It's gonna make it 'cos I know that it's not
[Bridge]
D G F
Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh
D C9 F
Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh. Ooh, ooh, ooh... ooh ooh
D G Bb
Oooh... ooh ooh... ooh
[Verse]
D C9 F
If I had wings I'd try to fly
D G F
But they don't make it harder to die
D C9 F
You can take it up to the sky
D C9 G F Am F
But no one ever stays that high
G F Am F
High... high
[Chorus]
D
I'm trying, and I'm trying, and I'm trying
Am7
But I can't get away from the thought
D
I'm dying, I'm dying, I'm dying
Am7
And it's something that I couldn't stop
D
I'm lying, I'm lying, if I say
Am7 Am C B A D
That I'm cool 'cos really I'm not
