Tom : C

[Trecho 2x 2x 2x]
Melody: (G A Bb B Bb A G)* F E D C E D C C C C
chords: G F C/E
G
There's some things I don't have now
Bb
Some things I don't talk about
C G
These things are between myself and I
G/F C/E G
In my thick skull the joker hides
G
There's consequences I'm scared to taste
Bb
Cold hard truths I can't face
C G
These days are different than the past
G/F C/E G
Reflections change in the looking glass
Dm/F C/E C/E G
And everywhere I look there's something to learn
F C/E G
A sliver of truth from every bridge we burn
Dm/F C/E C/E G
A hatful of quarters and a naked song
F C/E D D
Don't answer the question of where we belong
G
How come birds
F G
Don't fall from the sky when they die?
Bb
How come birds
C
Always look for a quiet place to hide
G
These words
F G
Can't explain what I feel inside?

[Refrão]
Bb C G
Like birds I need a quiet place to hide
melody: (G A Bb B Bb A G)* F E D C E D C C C C
chords: G F C/E

[Próxima Parte]
These independent moves I make
This confidence I try to fake
You can hear the beating of my heart
But not a feather falling in the dark
And everything I hear never makes any sense
Another old prophet perched on the fence
A cupful of pencils and a self help guru
Don't answer the question of what I am to you
(CHORUS)
  G/F  C/E  G   G/F  C/E   G    G/F  C/E    G  G/F   C/E    D
(CHORUS)
  G         Bb           C            G
Like birds I need a quiet place to hide

[Refrão] (repetir)
[Próxima Parte]
G/F C/E G/F C/E G/F C/E G
*Played in sixth intervals
