Im A Bird

light strumming

I've been l[G]iving by the corner of the street for years
Where the [D]younger boys and girls meet up
A[G]fter school trying to act so cool
As their [D]mopeds and their heartbeats speed up

[C]Oh, the times I've [D]wasted
[C]Oh, the times I've [D]wasted

Spending [G]countless days and eves on top
Of the boo[D]t and shoe repair shop
[G]Making plans for conquering the world
With my [D]latest brand of indie-rock
[C]Oh, the times I've w[D]asted
[C]Oh, the times I've w[D]asted
But my cou[C]ntry d[G]rowns in we[D]alth
And I've g[C]ot exc[G]ellent he[D]alth
So I'm a feeling li[G]ke a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till [Em]someone's gonna shoot me d[C]own
I'm a b[G]ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't m[Em]y mind gonna shoot me do[C]wn

For a li[G]fe time been thinkin' about life and fate
Been [D]avoiding all the big decisions
[G]Sitting by my computer screen
If I'm[D] tired of it there's television
[C]Oh, the times I've wa[D]sted

[G]Sitting by the step for someone to stop
When it [D]looks like I'm waiting for the sky to drop
[G]With everyday that's slippin' away
I'm[D] stuck with just a lil' less time to say

Oh[C], the times I've wa[D]sted
Oh[C], the times I've wa[D]sted

But my co[C]untry dr[G]owns in we[D]alth
And I've [C]got exce[G]llent h[D]ealth

So I'm a feeling [G]like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till [Em]someone's gonna shoot me d[C]own
I'm a b[G]ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't m[Em]y mind gonna shoot me do[C]wn

I'm [G]a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't m[Em]y mind gonna shoot me do[C]wn
[C]Oh, the times I've w[D]asted
[C]Oh, the times I've wa[D]sted
[C]Oh, the times I've wa[D]sted
[C]Oh oh oh oh oh oh [G]oh...     [D]             [Em]                     [C]

So I'm a feeling[G] like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till [Em]someone's gonna shoot me d[C]own
I'm a b[G]ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b[D]ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't m[Em]y mind gonna shoot me do[C]wn        [G]
