Birds In A Tree

[chords are improvised]
tell me a story about birds in a tree
singin' bout the way they think the world had oughtta be
looking down on us, with our brains so big and tall
'mystery to them how we just waste it all
tell me a story about scrapers in the sky
how we tore the world up for some artificial pride
therein lies the answer for how we came to be
tearing at our nature, 'fore we threw it to the sea.
"I'm so out of shape" the warbler says to the robin
"my arteries are clogged with processed dreams"
the robin cant relate, or so must be deduced becoz he's
staring at a screen, and getting lost in all the lights
tell me a story about birds in a tree
falling to the traps we set for happiness to bleed
looking down on us, forgetting really why
they've lost the very nature, we left it out to die

6/8
B G#m G#7 [C#m F#7]
Come to the beach or the coffee store run by hipsters on 8th street, we
need to meet for lunch to talk about all of the things that are weighing us
down a-bout the world and all its problems, for we've both got perspective and
share an understanding not demanding of agreement despite that we
B Aadd9 E F#
do. It's a shame that we just met, when their calendar comes to an
end. Now we've both got lives to live, but if you think of it just
B G#m G#7 [C#m F#7]
sit down. We can slow down, share a smile and a bit of ourselves, coz I've
got some-thing to say that you relate to when the others frustrate you and
don't you feel the need to put yourself in a crisis of faith when you
feel down but look upward, ain't it awkward to pull forwards and backwards and
2x (G#m Eb7 E7 F#7); B
stop.
