[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?

Shine are we stars?
[Chorus]

Who are we?

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

God's a proud ... thunderclou-ou-ou-ou-ou-ou-oud

With a fear that is ... biblical
