 G   C   G(2x)
PeGople they can be Cso unkGind
If they're not haCppy, if they can't speak their mGind
But unwind the nEmeedle just to fGind
One more lEmine, Done more lGineC  G  
PeGople they got somCething to sGay
They can be carCried or be carried awGay
But it takes bricks and moEmrtar, to speak your mGind
So keep putting 'em dEmown, Dput 'em doGwnC  
That bird had sGong to sing, soCmething to sGay
Is it still heCre? Or has it flown aGway?
This moEmrning it had something to sGay
Is it still hEmere? DOr has it flown aGway?C  G  
It remGinds of a time where my memCories Gfade
Thoughts ain't shCarp unless they're lGaid
But if I can't remEmember will I feel it agGain?
All I need's a piece of pEmaper Dand pGenC  G  
But you can take a phCotograph, or you can just be tGhere
Do you need to remeCmber? Or can you juGst be there?
If I kept my proEmmise, would we still be frGiends?
If I rememCbered would I feel it aDgain?
That bird had sGong to sing, soCmething to sGay
Is it still heCre? Or has it flown aGway?
This moEmrning it had something to sGay
Is it still hEmere? DOr has it flown aGway?C  G  
Sometimes I queGstion and I wonder how I jCust can sGing
Anger can take oCver mine, 'till it's carried awGay
But it's just not tEmhere, it don't make no sGense
But I wrote it dEmownD, I wrote it doCwn
