Capo 7th fret
Standard (EADGBE)
Intro
light strumming
I've been l iving by the corner of the street for years
Where the younger boys and girls meet up
A fter school trying to act so cool
As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up
Oh, the times I've wasted
Oh, the times I've wasted
Spending countless days and eves on top
Of the boo t and shoe repair shop
Making plans for conquering the world
With my latest brand of indie-rock
Oh, the times I've w asted
Oh, the times I've w asted
But my country drowns in we alth
And I've got excellent he alth
So I'm a feeling li ke a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till someone's gonna shoot me d own
I'm a b ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me do wn
For a li fe time been thinkin' about life and fate
Been avoiding all the big decisions
Sitting by my computer screen
If I'm tired of it there's television
Oh, the times I've wa sted
Sitting by the step for someone to stop
When it looks like I'm waiting for the sky to drop
With everyday that's slippin' away
I'm stuck with just a lil' less time to say
Oh, the times I've wa sted
Oh, the times I've wa sted
But my country drowns in we alth
And I've got excellent h ealth
So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till someone's gonna shoot me d own
I'm a b ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me do wn
I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me do wn
Oh, the times I've w asted
Oh, the times I've wa sted
Oh, the times I've wa sted
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh...
So I'm a feeling like a bird
I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Till someone's gonna shoot me d own
I'm a b ird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird
I've been feeling like a b ird
Been a bird ever since my birth
Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
