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
