Chords used:
1st verse:
su
Tell me do, something true, true of you and me
M
That we're too busy living through, too busy to see.
su
What is it that we do makes us what we are
M
If we sing are we nightingales, shine are we stars ?
CHORUS:
su M
Who are we ? what we got ? are we a firework show ?
M
Growing pale like a star that burnt out years ago
Stranger things have been, stranger things have gone,
M
I find it hard right now to name you one
M
Tell me do something true and drop the fairytales.
If singin' birds must sing, with no question of choice
M
Then livin' is our song, indeed our voice
Best agree you and me we're probably nightingales
2nd verse:
God's a proud thundercloud we are cartoon cats
M
With a fear that is biblical under our hats
