[Intro 1]
[G][F#m][D][G]
[Bdim][G][Em][G][Gm][Edim]
[A][G]

[Verse 1]
Tell [F#m]me do,
something [D]true, true of you and [G]me
That we're [Bdim]too bus[G]y living thr[Asus4]ough,
[G]too[Em] busy to [Edim]see.[Gm][Edim][A][G]
What is [A]it [F#m]that w[Ebdim]e do
[D]makes us what we are[G]
If we [Bdim]sing are[G] we ni[Em]ghtingal[A]es,
[G]shi[Em]ne ar[Gm]e we stars?
[A][Aaug]

[Verse 2]
[Bm]
Who are [D]we? [C#m]what we got? are we[G]
a fire[Em]work [Bb]show?
Growing pale like [Gm]a star that burnt [Csus4]out
[F]years ago[Ebdim][B][Bm]
Stranger [D]things have [C#m]been,
stranger [A]things have [G]gone,
I find it hard right [Em]now to name you o[G]ne[Bb]
Tell me do something [Gm]true and drop
[Csus4]the fairy[F]tales.[Ebdim][B][D]
[Bm]If singi[D]n' birds must sing[C#m],
with [A]no question [Em]of choice
[G]Then livin' is our[Em] song,
indeed our [Bb]voice
Best agree you and [Gm]me we're pr[F]obably
nightingales
[Ebdim][B][G][A][F#m]

[Verse 3]
[Ebdim]
[D][Instrumental verse]
[G]Who[Bdim][G][Em]
[Gm]are [A]we? [Aaug]what[D][C#m]
we [G]got? are we a fire[Em]work [Bb]show?
Growing pale like [Gm]a star that burnt
[Csus4]out years[F] ago[Ebdim][B][D]
[Bm]Stranger thing[D]s have been,[C#m]
stranger things [G]have gone,
I find it hard right [Em]now to name you o[G]ne[Bb]
Tell me do something [Gm]true and drop
the [F]fairytales.[Ebdim][B][D]
[Bm]If singin' birds[D] must sing[C#m],
with no ques[A]tion [G]of choice
Then livin' is [Em]our song,
indeed our [Bb]voice
Best agree you and [Gm]me we're probab[Csus4]ly[F]

[Interlude 1]
nightingales
[Ebdim][B][G][Bbdim][G]
[Bbdim][G]

[Verse 4]
God's a proud [A]thundercloud
[F#m]we are[D] cartoon cats[G]
With a [Bdim]fear that is [Em]biblica[Asus4]l
[Em]unde[Gm]r our hats
[A][Aaug]

[Verse 5]
[Bm]
Who [D]are we? [A]what we [C#m]got?[C#dim]
[Em]are we a firework [G]show?[Bb]
Growing pale like [Gm]a star that burnt
[Csus4]out years[F] ago[Ebdim][B][D]
[Bm]Stranger thing[D]s have been,[C#m]
stranger [A]things have [Em]gone,
I find it hard right now to name you [G]one[Bb]
Tell me do something [Gm]true and drop
[F]the fairytales.[Ebdim][B][D][Bm]
If [D]singin' birds must [C#m]sing,
with no question [Em]of choice
Then [G]livin' is [Em]our song,
indeed our [Bb]voice
Best agree you and [Gm]me
we're probably nightingales
[F]
