Isle Of Flightless Birds

Standard

Verse 1:
 Em            Am      G        B
Now is the climax to the story
          Em         Am               G         B
That gives the demons and angels purpose
 Em         Am               G         B
They fly around while we are walking
         Em            Am       G          B
And mold our emotions just to please them

Chorus:
C         D                      Em
I am cold, can you hear?
        G          D                      C
I will fly with no hope, no fear
                   D                          Em
And the ground taunts my wings
                        G     D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing

Verse: 2
                         Em
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
                      Am
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
          G
We're lining our homes against winding roads
 B
And we think the going is tough
               Em                                      Am
We pick songs to sing, remind us of things that nobody cares about
           G                                              B
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
    Em                                     Am
If you decide to live by, what you think's wrong and what's right
  G            
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
           B                                           
Your weeping will creep in your head and you'll cry
Em                                     Am
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
G                                            B
We can take a part our very heart and the light will set us free

Chorus:
C        D                       Em
I am cold, can you hear?
        G              D                 C
I will fly with no hope, no fear
                D                             Em
And the ground taunts my wings
                       G       D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I...

(One strum)
C          D                      Em
I am cold, can you hear?
           G       D                      C
I will fly with no hope, no fear
                 D                              Em
And the ground taunts my wings
                     G         D
Plummet as I sing, plummet as I sing

Outro:
              C
How frustrating, and so degrading
His time, we're wasting
       D
As time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading
      Em
And he is waiting, oh so patiently
                                  G                                       D
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability
                        C                                           
Please don't think about why you can't sleep in the evening
                      D                                  
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
         Em
Your soul knows good and evil, your soul knows both sides
               G                                             D
And it's time you pick your battle, and I promise you this is mine
(I promise you)
