Where The Birds Always Sing chords by The Cure

• Tuning: EADGBE

Intro:
D  Am C  G x3
D  C  Am G

Pre-Chorus:
    D                Am         C    G
The world is neither fair nor unfair
    D              Am      C          G
The idea is just a way for us to understand
        D                Am         C    G
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
   D       C         Am     G
So one survives, the others die
        D      C      Am     G
And you always want a reason why

Chorus:
        D                Am         C    G
But the world is neither just nor unjust
     D                 Am                C             G
It’s just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it
        D                Am         C    G
No, the world is neither just nor unjust
           D     C         Am      G
And though going young, so much undone
     D    C      Am   G
Is a tragedy for everyone

Verse 1:
    D              C           Am     G
It doesn’t speak a plan or any secret thing
   D      C              Am          G
No unseen sign or untold truth in anything
    D            C          Am           G
But living on in others, in memories and dreams
   D      Am           C     G
Is not enough you want everything
    D   Am              C          G
Another world where the sun always shines and
    D            Am    C      G
The birds always sing, always sing

Instrumental:
D  C  Am  G x3

The idea is just a way for us to understand
        D                Am         C    G
But the world is neither fair nor unfair
   D       C         Am     G
So one survives, the others die
        D      C      Am     G
And you always want a reason why

        D                Am         C    G
But the world is neither just nor unjust
     D                 Am                C             G

Is a tragedy for everyone

Verse 2:
   D                  C           Am     G
It doesn’t mean there has to be a way of things
   D                  C                Am      G
No special sense that hidden hands are pulling strings
    D            C          Am           G
But living on in others, in memories and dreams
    D    Am          C     G
Is not enough and it never is
    D      Am           C         G
You always want so much more than this
   D                C           Am          G
An endless sense of soul and an eternity of love
        D           C                Am      G
A sweet mother down below and a just father above
    D            C          Am           G
For living on in others, in memories and dreams
   D     Am        C          G
Is not enough, you want everything
   D    Am              C            G
Another world where the birds always sing
  D     Am              C          G
Another world where the sun always shines
 D      Am          C            G
