"Speed Of Sound"
A Em Em7 D
.
A Em7 D
How long before I get in
.
Before it starts, before I begin
.
How long before we decide
.
Before I know what it feels like
.
Where to? Where do I go?
.
If you've never tried then you'll never know
.
How long do I have to climb
.
Up on this side of this mountain of mine
A Em Em7 D
A Em7 D
Look up, I look up at night
.
Planets are moving at the speed of light
.
Climb up, up in the trees, every chance that you get
.
is a chance you seize
.
How long am I gonna stand
.
With my head stuck under the sand?
.
I start before I can stop
.
Before I see things the right way up
G A Bm7
All that noise, all that sound
.
All those places that I have found
G Bm
And birds go flying at the speed of sound
.
To show you how it all began
.
Birds came flying from the underground
F#m G
If you could see it then you'd understand
A Em Em7 D
A Em7 D
Ideas that you'll never find
.
Or the inventors could never design
.
The buildings that you put up
.
Japan and China... All lit up
.
The sign that I couldn't read
.
Or the light that I couldn't see
.
Some things you have to believe
.
But others are puzzles, puzzling me
G A Bm7
All that noise, all that sound
.
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
.
Ah, when you see it then you'll understand
