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

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

♫ Chorus:

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

E                       A
Look at what is in your heart (at what's in your heart)
E                          B
How could it be wrong? the little man is telling you
E                        A
People gathering in the square (gathering in the square)
E                         B
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:

♫ Verse 3:

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

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