G C G (2x)


  G                C     G
People they can be so unkind
                 C                               G
If they're not happy, if they can't speak their mind
                Em             G
But unwind the needle just to find
          Em  D          G   C G
One more line, one more line

  G                C          G
People they got something to say
               C                    G
They can be carried or be carried away
                          Em                   G
But it takes bricks and mortar, to speak your mind
                     Em  D          G   C
So keep putting 'em down, put 'em down

               G              C           G
That bird had song to sing, something to say
              C                    G
Is it still here? Or has it flown away?
       Em                         G
This morning it had something to say
             Em  D                 G      C G
Is it still here? Or has it flown away?

      G                          C    G
It reminds of a time where my memories fade
                 C                   G
Thoughts ain't sharp unless they're laid
                  Em                     G
But if I can't remember will I feel it again?
                         Em  D     G   C G
All I need's a piece of paper and pen

                     C                             G
But you can take a photograph, or you can just be there
                   C                  G
Do you need to remember? Or can you just be there?
                Em                        G
If I kept my promise, would we still be friends?
          C                      D
If I remembered would I feel it again?

               G              C           G
That bird had song to sing, something to say
              C                    G
Is it still here? Or has it flown away?
       Em                         G
This morning it had something to say
             Em  D                 G      C G
Is it still here? Or has it flown away?

               G                         C        G
Sometimes I question and I wonder how I just can sing
                C                              G
Anger can take over mine, 'till it's carried away
                   Em                      G
But it's just not there, it don't make no sense
                Em D              C
But I wrote it down, I wrote it down
