Eb Ab Eb Ab



🎸 Verse:
Eb          Ab
Why do we play with fire
Eb         Ab                           Eb
Why do we run our finger through the flame
Ab                     Bb
Why do we leave our hand on the stove
Ab                  Bb
Although we know we're in for some pain

Eb             Ab              Eb
Oh, why do we refuse to hang a light
Ab                 Eb
When the streets are dangerous
Ab           Eb/G Ab
Why does it take an accident
Ab          Bb                    Eb
Before the truth gets through to us



🎸 Chorus:
Eb        Ab
Cages or wings
Eb
Which do you prefer
Ab
Ask the birds

Eb
Fear or love, baby
Ab
Don't say the answer
Eb/G          Ab            Db Ab
Actions speak louder than words

🎸 Verse:
Eb            Ab             Eb
Why should we try to be our best
Eb          Ab                      Eb
When we can just get by and still gain
Ab
Why do we nod our heads
Eb/G
Although we know
Bb
The boss is wrong as rain
Ab
Why should we blaze a trail
Bb
When the well worn path seems safe and
Bb
So inviting
Bb           Cm
How, as we travel
Ab     Eb/G     Ab
Can we see the dismay
Bb
And keep from fighting

Eb
Which do you prefer
Ab
Ask the birds

Eb
Fear or love, baby
Ab
Don't say the answer
Eb/G          Ab            Eb
Actions speak louder than words

(Louder than, louder than)

🎸 Bridge:
Db
What does it take
Eb
To wake up a generation
Db
How can you make someone
Eb
Take off and fly


If we don't wake up

And shake up the nation

We'll eat the dust of the world

Wonderin' why, why


Why do we stay with lovers

Who we know, down deep

Just aren't right

Why would we rather


Put ourselves through hell

Than sleep alone at night


Why do we follow leaders who never lead


Why does it take catastrophe to start a revolution


If we're so free

Tell me why


Someone tell me why

So many people bleed

🎸 Chorus:
Eb        Ab
Cages or wings

Which do you prefer

Fear or love, baby

Actions speak louder than words

(Louder than, louder than, louder than, louder than)

🎸 Chorus:
Eb        Ab
Cages or wings
Eb
Which do you prefer
Ab
Ask the birds

Eb
Fear or love, baby
Ab
Don't say the answer
Eb/G          Ab            Db Ab
Actions speak louder than words

(Louder than, louder than)

They speak louder—

(Louder than, louder than)

Actions speak louder than—
