You tell me that you've got everything you want
And your bird can sing
F#m
A
But you don't get me
E
You don't get me
You say you've seen seven wonders
And your bird is green
But you can't see me
You can't see me
G#m
G+
When your prize possessions
B/f#
C#/f
Start to weigh you down
E
F#m
Look in my direction
B7
I'll be round, I'll be round
G#m
When your bird is broken
B
Will it bring you down
E
F#m
You may be awoken
B7
I'll be round, I'll be round
Tell me that you've heard every sound there is
And your bird can swing
But you can't hear me
You can't hear me

A
I want to tell you
B
My head is filled with things to say
E7
When you're here, all those words
A
They seem to slip away
When I get near you
The games begin to drag me down
It's alright, I'll make you maybe
Next time around
Bm
Dm6
A
But if I seem to act unkind
B7
Bm
It's only me, it's not my mind
Dm6
A
That is confusing things
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind, I could wait forever
I've got time
Sometimes I wish I knew you well
Then I could speak my mind and tell you
Maybe you'd understand
I want to tell you
I feel hung up and I don't know why
I don't mind, I could wait forever
I've got time
