                D
The birds they sang, at break of day.
        G
Start again, I hear them say.
        C#dim7              D
It's so hard to just walk away.

The birds they sang, all a choir.
Start again, a little higher.
It's a spark in a sea of grey

Chorus:
     Em
The sky is blue.
Dream that lie, 'til it's true.
      A
Then taking back the punch I threw.
   Em
My arms turn wings.
Oh those clumsy things.
        A7                    G
Send me up to that wonderful world.
    Em7      A7           D
And then I'm up with the birds.

               D             Bm            D   Bm
Might have to go where they don't know my name.
          G
Float all over the world, just to see her again.
       D             Bm       D   Bm
But I won't show or feel any pain.
       G
Even though all my armo(u)r might rust in the rain.

Chorus:
          Em7
A simple plot, but I know one day,
       G                    D Bm7 D Bm7
good things are coming our way.
          Em7
A simple plot, but I know one day,
       G                    D Bm7 D Bm7
good things are coming our way.
