     A                Em7
How long before I get in
                            D
Before it starts, before I begin
     A                Em7
How long before you decide
                             D
Before I know what it feels like
       A              Em7
Where to? Where do I go?
                                          D
If you've never tried then you'll never know
     A                  Em7
How long do I have to climb
                                     D
Up on this side of this mountain of mine

[A  Em  Em  D]
[A  Em  Em  D]

     A                 Em7
Look up, I look up at night
                                    D
Planets are moving at the speed of light
      A               Em7
Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get
                 D
is a chance you seize
     A                Em7
How long am I gonna stand
                              D
With my head stuck under the sand?
    A                  Em7
I start before I can stop
                                  D
Before I see things the right way up

G         A               Bm7
All that noise, all that sound
G           A                 Bm7
All those places that I have found

     G                        Bm
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
     D                    G
To show you how it all began
 G                         Bm
Birds came flying from the underground
              F#m                    G
If you could see it then you'd understand

[A  Em  Em  D]
[A  Em  Em  D]

   A                     Em7
Ideas that you'll never find
                                D
Or the inventors could never design
      A                    Em7
The buildings that you put up
                           D
Japan and China... All lit up
     A                    Em7
The sign that I couldn't read
                              D
Or the light that I couldn't see
       A                    Em7
Some things you have to believe
                                  D
But others are puzzles, puzzling me

G         A               Bm7
All that noise, all that sound
G           A                 Bm7
All those places that I have found

     G                        Bm
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
     D                    G
To show you how it all began
 G                         Bm
Birds came flying from the underground
              F#m                     G
If you could see it then you'd understand
              F#m                      G
Ah, when you see it then you'll understand

D

G          A                      Bm
All those signs I knew what they meant
                 E
Some things you can't invent
 G        A                  Bm
Some get made, and some get sent
E
Uh Uh

     G                        Bm
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
     D                    G
To show you how it all began
 G                         Bm
Birds came flying from the underground
              F#m                     G
If you could see it then you'd understand
              F#m                      G    D
Ah, when you see it then you'll understand
