Intro:
[Gmaj7] [E7] [Am7] [D7]
Verse:
[Gmaj7]Why do the birds sing
so e[E7]early in the dawn?
Their [Am7]honeysuckle melodies
be[D7]before my day's alarm
[Gmaj7]I imagine they're rehearsing
For some [E7]big elaborate show
That [Am7]I’ve not been invited to
So [D7]I should never know
[Gmaj7]The songs they like to sing
I sup[E7]suppose they’re not too far
From [Am7]all the songs I sing
When [D7]I’m alone late in my car
[Gmaj7]And if I were the postman
Awake [E7]for the afternoon
I’d [Am7]be the lucky someone
Eaves[D7]Eavesdropping on their tunes
[Gmaj7]But I think I like it better
When I [E7]sleep late past their call
For [Am7]all I know perhaps
the birds don’t [D7]even sing at all
Interlude -x2-:

Bridge:
We all [A7]know that
Love comes [D7]easily to you
But not the [G]hurt
You're im[E7]impervious to blue
I wish I [Am7]knew
How to [D]sing about the other colours too
