[Verse 1]
D
Up by the window of the seventh floor
There’s a little bird stretching her wings
She’s looking down at the world far below her
I can hear the little tune that she sings
[Chorus 1]
A
She says, "we all have our notions, baby
D
We all laugh and sigh
Am
And when the world on the ground
D
Is gonna swallow you down
C D (Am)
Sometimes you’ve got to pay it no mind
[Verse 2]
D Am
There is a time for shouting
D
There is a time to fight
Am D A
And if your heart’s wide open you might start to get the notion
D A
That nothing’s going right
[Chorus 2]
D7
But if you’re wise you know that sometimes, baby
Am7
It don’t help to yell and cry
D7
And when the world makes you frown
Don’t let it swallow you down
C D Am
Sometimes you’ve got to pay it no mind
C D Am
Sometimes you've got to pay it no mind
A D A
You know the world keeps turning without you, baby
D Em
But it’s ok to yell and cry
Am A Am
And when the ghosts on your screen, they demand to be seen
C D Am
Sometimes you’ve got to pay ‘em no mind
D
Pay ‘em no mind"

[Verse 3]
Am
Up by the window of the seventh floor
My little bird’s getting ready to fly
She’s had enough of the world down below her
D Am
And now she’s looking up at the sky
[Chorus 3]

She says, "we all have our notions, baby

We all laugh and sigh
