I turn the music up, I got my records on
           G                       G
I shut the world outside until the lights come on
          Cadd9                     Cadd9
Maybe the streets alight, maybe the trees are gone
          G                         G
I feel my heart start beating to my favourite song
            Cadd9                    Cadd9
And all the kids they dance, all the kids all night
      G                    G
Until Monday morning feels another life

Don’t want to see another generation drop

I’d rather be a comma than a full stop
          Cadd9                   Cadd9
Maybe I’m in the black, maybe I’m on my knees
          G                      G
Maybe I’m in the gap batween the two trapezes
       Em7
But my heart is beating and my pulses start
  Cadd9
Cathedrals in my heart
       Cadd9       G             Em7
And we saw oh this light I swear you, emerge blinking into
   Cadd9
To tell me it’s alright
      Cadd9      G                     Em7
As we soar wa----lls, every siren is a symphony

Up With the Birds
              D                 Dsus2
The birds they sang, at break of day.
                           Dsus2
       Em7no5              
"Start again", I hear them say.
        A                 D
                    Aadd4 
It's so hard to just walk away.
               D           Dsus2
The birds they sang, all a choir,
                      Dsus2
       Em7no5         
"Start again a little higher".
       A                D
                 Aadd4  
It's a spark in a sea of gray.
    D      G/A
The sky is blue,
             D             G/A
Dreamed that lie 'til it's true,
     A      A7       A       A7Sus4
Then takin' back the punch I threw,
   D         G/A
My arms turn wings,
          D      G/A
Oh, those clumsy things
        A          A7        D
Send me up to that wonderful world
    Dsus2       A7Sus4   D
And then I'm up with the birds.
(Now with feeling, listen to the song for strum pattern)
D Dsus2 D Dsus2
              D             Dsus2         D       Dsus2
Might have to go where they don't know my name

          Em11no5/          Em11no5/ 
Float all over the  world just to see her   again
      D             Dsus2    D      Dsus2
And I won't show or fear any pain,
             A    Dsus2          A  Dsus2
     Em11no5/            Em11no5/   
Even though all my armor might rust in the rain
         Em                  G
A simple plot but I know one day
     Em                    D    Dsus2  D  Dsus2
Good things are coming our way
         Em                  G
A simple plot but I know one day
     Em                    D     Dsus2  D  Dsus2
Good things are coming our way,
Em G Em G  (listen closely for the strumming pattern)
Oh, yeah...
