[Intro: ]E A B7 A B7 E Esus4 E
E A B7
I look up and the hills seem far away
A B7 E Esus4 E
They still say more than you
E A B7
And on my back I see these clouds above
A B7 E Esus4 E
They still love me more than you
A A7 E
And I know I don’t have to wait for words
E7 A A7
I could walk away and listen to the birds,
E E7
Listen to the birds
A A7 E
Coz they are saying the things I wanna hear
E7 A A7
They don’t change, they stay the same, when I’m near
E A B7
I would dearly love to run away
A B7 E Esus4 E
From your shadow for just one day
E A B7
Coz I would dearly love to run away
A B7 E Esus4 E
From your shadow for just one day
Interlude: E A B7 A B7 E Esus4 E
And I don’t never want to steal your time
Coz you seem fine and I feel blue
And I don’t wanna say the things I do
Coz I know I feel it more than you
And I know I don’t have to wait for words
I could walk away and listen to the birds
Listen to the birds
Coz they are saying the things I wanna hear
They don’t change
They stay the same when I’m near
I would dearly love to run away
From your shadow
For just one day
I would dearly love to run away
From your shadow for just one day
Oh well, I know I don’t have to wait for you,
I could turn around and find someone new
Find someone new
Someone that says the things I need to hear
Doesn’t change, stays the same when I’m near
I would dearly love to run away
From your shadow for just one day
Oh well, I would dearly love to run away
From your shadow for just one day
Oh well I would dearly love to run away
From your shadow for just one day
