VERSE 1
    Asus4             Em7
How long before I get in?
                              D
Before it starts, before I begin?
    Asus4             Em7
How long before you decide?
                              D
Before I know what it feels like?
      Asus4         Em7 
Where to, where do I go?
                                D
If you never try, you'll never know,
    Asus4             Em7  
How long do I have to climb?
                                   D
Up on the side of this mountain of mine?

VERSE 2
     Asus4            Em7
Look up, I look up at night
                                    D
Planets are moving at the speed of light
      Asus4         Em7
Climb up, up in the trees
                                           D
Every chance that you get is a chance you seize
    Asus4            Em7
How long am I gonna stand
                              D
With my head stuck under the sand
     Asus4              Em7                    
I'll start before I can stop
                                  D
Before I see things the right way up
PRE-CHORUS
 G        A 
  All that noise
               Bm7 
  And all that sound 
 G          A            Bm7
  All those places I got found
CHORUS
   G                       Bm7 
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                      G
To show you how it all began
                           Bm7
Birds came flying from the underground
             F#m                         G
If you could see it then you'd understand

VERSE
 Asus4                    Em7
Ideas that you'll never find
                                  D 
All the inventors could never design
    Asus4                  Em7
The buildings that you put up
                        D
Japan and China all lit up
  Asus4                 Em7
A sign that I couldn't read
                           D
Or a light that I couldn't see
      Asus4                Em7
Some things you have to believe
                             D
Others are puzzles, puzzling me
PRE-CHORUS
 G         A
  All that noise
               Bm7
  And all that sound
 G         A             Bm7  
  All those places I got found
CHORUS
    G                      Bm7
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                     G
To show you how it all began
                            Bm7 
Birds came flying from the underground
            F#m                     G 
If you could see it then you'd understand
            F#m                     G
Ah, when you see it then you'd understand

PRE-CHORUS
 G          A                       Bm7
  All those signs, I knew what they meant
                  E
  Some things you can't invent
 G        A                 Bm7        E
  Some get made and some get sent, ooh
CHORUS
    G                      Bm7
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
   D                  G
To show you how it all began
                           Bm7
Birds came flying from the underground
             F#m                    G
If you could see it then you'd understand

Ah, when you see it then you'll understand
