Verse
 
    Amaj7#11      A 
You talk when you cease 
                    Emaj7 
To be at peace with your thoughts 
    Amaj7#11               A 
And when you can no longer dwell 
 
In the solitude of your heart, 
    Amaj7#11     C#m 
You live in your lips 
 
Interlude
 
        Dmaj7      C#m 
And the sound is a pastime 
    Dmaj7       C#m 
A diversion and waste time  
       Amaj7#11     A 
And in much of your talking,  
Amaj7#11         A 
Thinking is half murder 
 
Chorus
 
  A          B Emaj7 
A thought is a bird 
  A    B  Emaj7 
A bird of space 
     A    G#m     A     B   D 
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings 
    C#m 
But cannot fly 
  A          B Emaj7 
A thought is a bird 
  A    B  Emaj7 
A bird of space 
     A    G#m     A     B   D 
That in a cage of words may unfold its wings 
    C#m             B 
But cannot fly, but cannot fly
