[Intro] 0.00 - 0.18
Gmaj7 E7 Am7 D7
[Verse] 0.19 - 0.34
Gmaj7
Why do the birds sing
E7
so early in the dawn?
Am7
Their honeysuckle melodies
D7
before my day's alarm
0.35 - 0.50
Gmaj7
I imagine they're rehearsing
E7
For some big elaborate show
Am7
That I’ve not been invited to
D7
So I should never know
0.51 - 1.06
Gmaj7
The songs they like to sing
E7
I suppose they’re not too far
Am7
From all the songs I sing
D7
When I’m alone late in my car
1.07 - 1.22
Gmaj7
And if I were the postman
E7
Awake for the afternoon
Am7
I’d be the lucky someone
D7
Eavesdropping on their tunes
1.23 - 1.37
Gmaj7
But I think I like it better
E7
When I sleep late past their call
Am7 D7
For all I know perhaps the birds don’t even sing at all
[Interlude] 1.38 - 2.08
Gmaj7 E7 Am7 D7 x2
[Bridge] 2.09 - 2.32
A7
We all know that
D7
Love comes easily to you
G
But not the hurt
E7
You're impervious to blue
Am7
I wish I knew
D
How to sing about the other colours too
[Solo] 2.33 - end
