♫ Verse 1:

E MajorE           A augmentedA
Two birds sitting on a wire
E MajorE             BB
Big one makes his move, he spreads his feathers, rubs his beak
E MajorE             A augmentedA
Boy and girl are leaving school
E MajorE             BB
He is shy, but she will follow him, she don’t know why

C# minorC#m    F#F#
Life - is short
  C# minorC#m    F#F#
And then - you sleep

♫ Chorus:

A augmentedA
 Pull down the wall
   E MajorE
It’s only masking honesty
A augmentedA
 Pull down the wall
   E MajorE
It’s breaking up the family
A augmentedA
 Pull down the wall, you
F#F#
Hear the true call, you
BB
Start the day with little things
    G# minorG#m     BB         E*
They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings

♫ Verse 2:

E MajorE            A augmentedA
Look at what is in your heart (at what's in your heart)
E MajorE             BB
How could it be wrong? the little man is telling you
E MajorE            A augmentedA
People gathering in the square (gathering in the square)
E MajorE             BB
They’ve had enough, their leaders they are killing them

And then - you sleep

♫ Bridge:

A*             D*
When all the banks began to fail
                   A*
I thought that we would have a change
                 D*               A*
But they found all this cash, we didn’t have to patch it up again
                D*           F#m*
They never think to spend the money on the everlasting broke
    B*      D*
Or the sick, what a waste

♫ Instrumental:

E MajorE  A augmentedA  E MajorE  BB

♫ Verse 3:

E MajorE             A augmentedA
Two birds in the promised land
E MajorE            BB
One is building walls to keep the other in its place
 E MajorE             A augmentedA
Imprisoned like the special son
E MajorE            BB
He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out

♫ Pre-Chorus:

C# minorC#m    F#F#
Life - is short
  C# minorC#m    F#F#
And then - you sleep
