Verse:
          G+G   E minorEm
There’s an aching inside
         G+G    E minorEm
Won’t you help me escape
         C majorC    C majorC
From the places I hide
        G+G    E minorEm
The foreseeable fate
      G+G    E minorEm
Show me the world
         G+G      E minorEm
And all the good I don’t see
        C majorC    C majorC
Just want to be heard
        G+G   E minorEm
Can you do that for me
        G+G   E minorEm
Can you do that for me

Pre-Chorus:
           D MajorD
’Cause I’ve travelled through
D MajorD           C majorC
Hell and high water to find
 C majorC          G+G    E minorEm    G+G  E minorEm
A augmentedA place that I thought to be, lo-oo-ong gone
        D MajorD     D MajorD
This feeling of ho-oo-ope
            C majorC  C majorC
Is something I want to hold

Chorus:
          G+G     E minorEm
So I’ll follow the birdsong
          G+G     E minorEm
’Til I find my way back home
        C majorC
I’ll follow the birdsong
C majorC            G+G
Oh and I can hear them now
 E minorEm    G+G     E minorEm    G+G  E minorEm
Ah oooo-oo-oooo,  ah oooo-oo-oooo

G+G E minorEm

      G+G   E minorEm
Moving so steady
           G+G      E minorEm
Just like the waves on the shore
         C majorC   C majorC
Slowly across the sand
          G+G    E minorEm
Each time more than before

          G+G  E minorEm      G+G     E minorEm
And above there are birds singing high over head
            D MajorD     D MajorD
The way that they see the world
        C majorC    C majorC
When all I see instead
                G+G   E minorEm
Is the darkness that covers my eyes
           G+G     E minorEm
One day I’ll take to the skies

Pre-Chorus:
           D MajorD
’Cause I’ve travelled through
D MajorD           C majorC
Hell and high water to find
 C majorC          G+G    E minorEm    G+G  E minorEm
A augmentedA place that I thought to be, lo-oo-ong gone
        D MajorD     D MajorD
This feeling of ho-oo-ope
            C majorC  C majorC
Is something I want to hold

Chorus:
          G+G     E minorEm
So I’ll follow the birdsong
          G+G     E minorEm
’Til I find my way back home
        C majorC
I’ll follow the birdsong
C majorC            G+G
Oh and I can hear them now
