Well, across the fractured landscape
Cadd9 G G/A
I see the same things
Cadd9 G G/A
Tired ideas
Cadd9 G G/A
Birds without wings
A C G
Birds without wings
A C G
Birds without wings
Cadd9 G G/A
And these are just thoughts
Cadd9 G G/A
On lackluster times
Cadd9 G G/A
And Ive no interest
Cadd9 G G/A
In excuses you can find
Cadd9 G G/A
Like you’ve had a hard day

Now you’re to tired to care
Cadd9 G G/A
Now you’re to tired to care
Cadd9 G G/A
Oh you’ve had a hard day
Cadd9 G G/A
Well, across the fractured landscape
Cadd9 G G/A
I see the same things
Cadd9 G G/A
Tired ideas, broken values
Cadd9 G G/A
Many with the notion that to share is to lose
Cadd9 G G/A
A hollow people bound by a lack
Cadd9 G G/A
Of imagination and to much looking back
C Dadd4 G Em
Without the courage to give a new thing a chance
Cadd9 G G/A
Grounded by this ignorance
D C
And the cat comes

We’re just birds without wings
