[Verse 1]
Gmaj7 F#m7 Em7
My feathers don't shine brightly in the moonlight
Bm F#m G E
I don't know how to sing a pretty song
Dmaj7 F#7 G E7
Like water off a duck's back, you seem to slip away
A G Dmaj7
Well, natural selection be damned, I'll be okay
[Chorus]
G F#m F# Bm Em
I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise
Gm Dmaj7
But now I'm happy being just a quail
G F#m F# Bm Em
I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise
Gm Dmaj7
But now I'm happy being just a quail

[Verse 2]
G F# Em
You've got all your dances and your colors
Bm F#m G E
While I'm over here just trippin' on my own feet
Dmaj7 F# G
Can't fly all too well, well it's not so hard to tell
N.C.
I don't got the moves but I'm bobbing to my own beat
[Chorus]
G F#m F# Bm Em
I used to think I'd wanna be a bird of paradise
Gm Dmaj7
But now I'm happy being just a quail

But now I'm happy being just a quail
