A9         B7              E                               A 
            Tell me do, something true, true of you and me 
               E�   Am7                              Am        B7 
            That we're too busy living through, too busy to see. 
A9         B7         E                            A 
            What is it that we do makes us what we are 
          E�       Am7                          Am           B7 
            If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ? 
 
        CHORUS: 
        ------- 
 
A9         B7               E                 Am7    
            Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ? 
Am7                                        Gm7       F� 
            Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago 
A9                    B7                         E   
            Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone, 
                         Am7                   Am7  
            I find it hard right now to name you one 
                                             Gm7       F� 
            Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales. 
A9                      B7                       E                  
            If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice 
                       Am7                      Am7  
            Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice 
                                                                                Gm7           F� 
            Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales 
 
        2nd verse:

A9             B7          E                             A 
            God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats 
           E�       Am7        Am        B7 
            With a fear that is biblical under our hats
