C   G          Am Em
Two birds on a wire
F          G    F
One tries to fly away
        G
And the other
C           G
Watches him close
          Am Em
From that wire
F                     G
He says he wants to as well
F       G
But he is a liar


C               G 
I'll believe it all
        Am        Em  G
There's nothing I won't understand
C               G 
I'll believe it all
  Am        Em       G
I won't let go of your hand


C   G          Am Em
Two birds on a wire
F       G
One says come on
F
And the other says
G
I'm tired
C          G
The sky is overcast
        Am  Em
And I'm silent
F               G
One more or one less
F     G
Nobody's worried

C               G 
I'll believe it all
Am                Em        G
There's nothing I won't understand
C               G 
I'll believe it all
Am          Em        G
I won't let go of your hand


C   G          Am Em
Two birds of a feather
F               G
Say that they're always
F          G
Gonna stay together
C                G
But one's never goin' to
    Am          Em
Let go of that wire
F              G
He says that he will
F             G
But he's just a liar


C   E          Am E
Two birds on a wire
F           G   F
One tries to fly away
        G
And the other
C           E
Watches him close
          Am E
From that wire
F                     G
He says he wants to as well
F        G
But he is a liar


C   G          Am Em
Two birds on a wire
F           G   F
One tries to fly away
         G
And the other

hi all!! if you like me were irked by the lack of progression on the all of the chorus you can get that effect by muting the a string and strumming open strings, so the i believe it all lines chords would be c g open strings.

You can substitute the E chord for E7 it’s a lot easier and it sounds gr8

wait it is but briefly so you can probably just skip over it ( I’m a beginner and teaching myself so I do that super often. oops.)

The E chord isn’t actually used in the song, so there shouldn’t be any difficulty.

Is there anything to substitute the E chord with?

  I don’t know anything to substitute the E with but if you need an easier way to play it the alternative way to play an E major chord is 2nd fret bottom string with the pointer finger, and the top three strings of the 4th fret with the ring finger, sorry if that was a confusing explanation but hopefully it was somewhat helpful :)

is it possible to correct the lyric “and I’m silent” to “and I’m sorry”? Just wondering. Love this tab, very helpful and I’m playing this song at my school talent show!

The lyric is I’m sorry not I’m silent. Great tab though! Thank you for making this amazing website!
