[Verse]
how [A]long before I get [Em]in
before it starts, before I be[D]begin
how [A]long before you de[Em]decide
before I know what it feels li[D]like
where [A]to, where do I go [Em]
if you never tried then you'll never kn[D]know
how [A]long do I have to cli[Em]climb
up on this side of this mountain of min[D]mine
[A] [Em] [D] [A] [Em] [D]
look [A]up, I look up at nig[Em]night
planets are moving at the speed of lig[D]light
come [A]up, up in the tre[Em]trees
every chance that you get is a chance you seiz[D]seize
how [A]long am I gonna s[Em]stand
with my head stuck under the [D]sand
I'll [A]start before I can st[Em]stop
or before I see things the right way u[D]up
[Pre-chorus]
[G] all that [A]noise, all that soun[Bm]sound
[G] all those pl[A]places that i got f[Bm]found
[Chorus]
and [G]birds go flying at the [Bm]speed of sound
to [D]show how it all be[G]began
[G]birds come flying from the [Bm]underground
if you could [F#m]see it then you'd understand[G]understand

id[A]ideas that you'll never fi[Em]find
all the inventors could never desi[D]design
the [A]buildings that you put u[Em]up
Japan and China all lit up[D]up
the [A]sign that I couldn't rea[Em]read
all the light that I couldn't se[D]see
some[A]somethings you have to believe[Em]believe
but others are puzzles, puzzling me[D]me
[Pre-chorus]
[G] all that [A]noise, all that soun[Bm]sound

if you could [F#m]see it then you'd understand[G]understand [D]
[Bridge]
[G] all those signs[A]signs I knew what they mean[Bm]meant
something you [E]can't invent
[G] Some get made,[A]made, and some get sent[Bm]sent
[E]ooh
[Chorus]
and [G]birds go flying at the [Bm]speed of sound
to [D]show how it all be[G]began
[G]birds come flying from the [Bm]underground
if you could [F#m]see it then you'd understand[G]understand

Oh when you [F#m]see it then you'll under[G]understand
