(Repeat Main Riff 1 through all of this) A squirrel in the tree is he watching me Does he give a damn? Does he care who I am? I'm just a man, is that all I am Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human? I'm human Murderous crow, hey what you know What you reading about, what you hold in your toes Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece Are you a riddle to solve all along? Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all Only human Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
FG The planet's talking about a revolution EmAm The natural laws ain't got no constitution Dm They've got a right to live their own life Amaj But we keep paving over paradise

(Repeat Main Riff 1 through all of this) Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy Thinking 1923 Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb What you'll find is the product of a seed The seed is sown, all alone It grows above, with a heart of love Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing We're all breathing in
FG The planet's talking about a revolution EmAm The natural laws ain't got no constitution Dm They've got a right to live their own life Amaj But we keep paving over paradise
Riff 1 'Cause we're only human Riff 2 Yes we are Riff 1 only human A#A If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being Riff 1 Only human Riff2 Yes we are, yes we are Riff1 Only human, only human, only human A#A So far...
A#A And this place it will outlive me CG Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree F#F And I will have to give my thanks F#A# For giving me the branch to swing on AG#G If I ever fall in love F#F I'll have to give myself a baby F#G# I will let my children have their way
Main Riff 1 (Repeat 4x without singing)
