[G]-[C][D]-[G] [C]-[D] [G]-[C]
[G]-[C]i'm here staring at [D]a [G]bird in a tree
[C]-[D] lying still only [G]wish[C]ing he was me
'cause for [G]a [C]bird it's not a crime
[D]to [G]try and satisfy his [C]b[D]ird belly hunger
or fly [G]the [C]blue belly sky
[G]and [C]from his bird's eye view
he [D]can [G]pick and he can choose
he does[C]n't [D]have to grieve his spirit
[G]though [C]he doesn't have to lose
a moment's [G]joy [C]there in his nest
[D]no [G]matter what his mess,
he [C]can [D]barrel out his chest
and [C]he can fly a[D]way
but [C]i'm pinned down in my [D]-[G]bed again,
i[C] don't think i can [D]fly (i wouldn't try)
if [C]i was a bird, i would [D]-[G]be content
to [C]peck along the [D]ground 'cause
[C]i'm pinned down a[G]gain[C]
(solo starts)[D]-[G] [C]-[D] [G]-[C]
[G]-[C]i'm here staring at [D]a [G]bird on a limb
[C]-[D]lying still, only [G]wish[C]ing i was him
'cause [G]-[C]i can use a haven, [D]a [G]nest above my fate
call [C]it [D]rest from the chasing of
[G]my [C]pillow and my plate
and for [G]a [C]bird it's always right
[D]to [G]love his appetite
he's too [C]du[D]mb to know the struggle,
too [G]we[C]ak to know the fight
he can [G]fly C]south when it gets cold,
[D]-[G]sing until he's old
and on [C]a [D]whim he can unfold
[C]his wings and fly a[D]way, hey-heh-yea
but [C]i'm pinned down in my [G]bed again,

yeah, [C]i'm pinned [A]down a[G]gain

[G]-[C][D]-[G] [C]-[D] [G]-[C]
(softer)
[C]i'm here staring at a bird[G] in the air
[D]i wonder what i'd see if [C]i looked down from there
i'd see[C] a shattered temple,
all it's mem[G]bers in a sweat
everyone[D] has been degraded,
e[C]very sermon [G]-[C] they for[D]get[G]
[C]-[D] [G]-[C]
i'd see a [G]-[C]man pulled from his bed
by the [D]sa[G]me Hands of love
that hung [C]a [D]cross around his neck
just to [C]remind him, [C] remind him, who he wa[D]

ooh, when [G]-[C]i'm pinned down in my [D]-[G]bed again,
