Intro: Gmaj7 E7 Am7 D7

Verse:
Gmaj7
Why do the birds sing
    E7
so early in the dawn?
      Am7
Their honeysuckle melodies
  D7
before my day's alarm


Gmaj7
I imagine they're rehearsing
         E7
For some big elaborate show
     Am7
That I’ve not been invited to
   D7
So I should never know


Gmaj7
The songs they like to sing
     E7
I suppose they’re not too far
     Am7
From all the songs I sing
     D7
When I’m alone late in my car


Gmaj7
And if I were the postman
      E7
Awake for the afternoon
    Am7
I’d be the lucky someone
     D7
Eavesdropping on their tunes


Gmaj7
But I think I like it better
       E7
When I sleep late past their call
    Am7                                D7
For all I know perhaps the birds don’t even sing at all

Interlude -x2-: Gmaj7 E7 Am7 D7 x2

Bridge:
       A7
We all know that
           D7
Love comes easily to you
            G
But not the hurt
         E7
You're impervious to blue
         Am7
I wish I knew
       D
How to sing about the other colours too
