[Verse 1]
G
I flirt with Brancusi's gesture
      Am
I'm a bird in space
D                            G
As his ghost escorts me to a magic place
G                                   Am
I'm dressed all in colours, neither white nor black
D                                G
Ask the begged question, need I come back

[Chorus]
G                             Am
I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
        D
Forever caught in mid-flight
              G
How I long to be
G                                 Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
        D
Forever caught in mid-flight
              G
How I long to be
Am            G
How I long to be

[Verse 2]
G                               Am
Sing on Olympus Mons so all the world can see
D                                  G
Perfection in my structure, I have all I need
G                                Am
There's not a single stain on my song tonight
D                            G
When time is endless and I'm always right

[Chorus]
G                                 Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
        D
Forever caught in mid-flight
              G
How I long to be
G                                 Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
              G
How I long to be
Am            G
How I long to be

[Chorus]
G                                 Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight
              G
How I long to be
G                                 Am
And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise
D
Forever caught in mid-flight

[Outro]
              G
How I long to be
Am            G
How I long to be
Am            G
How I long to be
