Amaj7  Dmaj7
Oh my word
 Amaj7    Dmaj7
How to begin
Amaj7      Dmaj7
When it's more
     Amaj7       G7
Than you can take in

Chorus:
Dmaj7
Birds are flying
        C#m
In the sky
Bm
Seagulls crying
             Amaj7 Dmaj7
Above you and I

Oh my word
When you are down
Lift your gaze
Up from the ground

Chorus:
The sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye

Em
Sad days
               Dmaj7
Belong to the past
        Bm
Only a fool
                      G
Could expect them to last
 Am
Fist clenched
              G
Tears in the eyes
              Em
Awaiting the moment
            C    G  E
When it subsides

Birds are flying
Way up high
Seagulls crying
As am I
Sun is rising
In the sky
Unsurprising
Yet it catches the eye

Heydays
Belong to the past
Only a fool
Could expect it to last
Fist clenched
Tears in the eyes
I stand alone
In diminishing light

Amaj7   Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Oh my word
Amaj7   Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Oh my word
Amaj7   Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Oh my word
Amaj7   Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7 Amaj7 Dmaj7
 Oh my word
