Verse 1:

D Am G D Sitting under the cypress tree I saw a miracle flying high Am D I tuned into the song that she was singing D Am The melody was an honest friend and it G D Felt like I was learning to fly Am D But I fear I?ll never know the feeling
Bm F#7 It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard D A Bm And it might sound a bit absurd D A Bm I?d sing along with the birds D A G I?d sing along if I only knew the words D A G D Em I?d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
Solo D Am G D D Am D

Verse 2:

D Am Staring into the wishing well has got you G D Feeling a particular way Am D You can?t stand to see your own reflection D Am So, toss a penny and close your eyes G D And try to think of something to say D Am D And don?t waste your wishes on perfection
Bm F#7 It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard D A Bm And it might sound a bit absurd D A Bm I?d sing along with the birds D A G I?d sing along if I only knew the words D A G D Em I?d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words

Bridge:

F#m Am D I?d master every verse until my spirit learned to burst D F#m C Into the morning sun D While my heart is on the run
Solo D Am G D D Am D D Am G D D Am D

Verse 3:

D Am All the wind in the whistlin? world G D Could whip a whisper any given day D Am D Just to see if there was anyone to listen D Am They say the April rain will fall G D To resurrect the flowers of May D Am D You can?t know who you love until you miss them
Bm F#7 It must be nice (it must feel good) to just be heard D A Bm And it might sound a bit absurd D A Bm I?d sing along with the birds D A G I?d sing along if I only knew the words D A G D Em I?d sing along with the birds, if I only knew the words
Solo D Am G D D Am D D Am G D D Am D
