    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 
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-Refrain]
G           A                   Bm 
   all that noise, all that sound  
G             A                Bm 
  all those places that i got found 
[Refrain]
    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

  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-Refrain]
G           A                   Bm 
   all that noise, all that sound  
G             A                Bm 
  all those places that i got found

birds come flying from the underground  
             F#m                         G D 
if you could see it then you'd understand 
[Pont]
G               A                       Bm 
 all those signs   I knew what they meant  
              E 
something you can't invent  
G              A                  Bm 
 Some get made,  and some get sent 
E 
ooh 
[Refrain]
    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 
[Outro]
            F#m                     G 
Oh when you see it then you'll understand
