E A
Let me tell you 'bout the end of the beginning
E A
Or of the end, depends on where you land
E A
You came on the scene just as the plot is thinning
E A
I’ll start again, and then you’ll understand
[Chorus]
E
It’s like the bird
A
That you can’t see
E A
But you can hear the pretty music in the tree
E
It’s like the word
A
That you can’t say
E A
But you can sing the pretty music anyway
[Post-Chorus]

Girl, I can see behind your eyes your mind is spinning
E A
As if your eyes can make the skies come clear

So you came in at the bottom of the inning

And no one knows just where we go from here
[Chorus]
E
It’s like the bird (like the bird)
A
That you can’t see (that you can't see)

But you can hear the pretty music in the tree (It's a part of you, whoo-ooh, it's a part
of me)

It’s like the word

That you can’t say

But you can sing the pretty music anyway (It's a part of you, whoo-ooh, it's a part of
me)

So you want to know the meaning of my song?
E A
I’ll tell you now, it’s all about how you feel

Just so I know that where you go is real
[Chorus]

It’s like the bird (like the bird)
