[Intro]
| A | B6    G#m6 | E7 | A | Gdim7 | F#7sus | % | Am | B/D# B6/D# |
[Instrumental]
 
[Verse 1]
A            B6              G#m6
  Tell me do, something true
E7                A
  True of you and me
A    Amaj7/G# Gdim7
That we're    too busy
F#7sus
 Living through
    Am     | B/D# B6/D# |
Too busy to see
 
[Verse 2]
A           B6         G#m6
  What is it that we do
E7                 A
  Makes us what we are
A  Amaj7/G# Gdim7        F#7sus
If we       sing are we ... nightingales?
Am          | B/D# Baug/D# |
Shine are we stars?
 
[Chorus]
E6
  Who are we?
D#m7
 What we got?
C#m7              F#m9
Are we a firework show?
Cmaj9                Am7       C/D       Gmaj7      Fdim7
 Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
E6                     D#m7                       C#m7
  Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone
                     F#m7
I find it hard right now to name you one
Cmaj9                 Am7      C/D      Gmaj7      Fdim7
 Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales
E6                      D#m7                      C#m7
  If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
                   F#m7
Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Cmaj9               Am7      C/D     Gmaj7         Fdim7
 Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales

A/C#             B6                  G#m6     E7/D
 God's a proud ... thunderclou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-oud
               A
We are cartoon cats
A    Amaj7/G# Gdim7         F#7sus4
With a        fear that is ... biblical
Am/E      | B Gaug |
Under our hats
