C          G7             C 
Listen and hear each word stop 
          G7 
Or you'll miss the birds 
     C           G7         A7 
They sing in the top of the trees 
    D7             G7       F 
Sometimes when you look you can't see 
       C              G7             A7 
But up there you will know that it's round 
       F          G7           C 
You're living too close to the ground 

               G7               C 
Come where the lights are brand new 
          G7 
Leave now without a plan 
C           G7      A7 
You can get away if you choose 
   D7      G7                F 
Confess it you've nothing to lose 
C              G7             A7 
And I can show you where it's found 
       F          G7           C 
You're living too close to the ground 

               G7 
Rush so you'll pass it by 
C            G7 
Don't let it catch your eye 
C              G7           A7 
Don't stop you might look a fool 
D7            G7           F 
Standing with love in your eyes 
       C       G7                  A7 
Trying hard to believe what you've found 
       F          G7           C 
You're living too close to the ground 

                G7 
I once held her close to me 
C            G7 
Listened and heard her breathe 
     C           G7          A7 
Just like I have done all my life 
    D7            G7       F 
Her heart was the image of mine 
       C             G7          A7 
Ah but my wings just couldn't be found 
      F          G7           C 
I was living too close to the ground
