Capo 7th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

light strumming

 I've been living by the corner of the street for years

 Where the younger boys and girls meet up

 After 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 boot and shoe repair shop

Making plans for conquering the world

 With my latest brand of indie-rock

Oh, the times I've wasted

Oh, the times I've wasted

 But my country drowns in wealth

 And I've got excellent health

 So I'm a feeling like a bird

I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Till someone's gonna shoot me down

 I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

 For a life 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 wasted

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 wasted

 Oh, the times I've wasted

 But my country drowns in wealth

 And I've got excellent health

 So I'm a feeling like a bird

I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Till someone's gonna shoot me down

 I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

 I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

Oh, the times I've wasted

Oh, the times I've wasted

Oh, the times I've wasted

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 bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Till someone's gonna shoot me down

 I'm a bird, I'm a bird, I'm a bird

 I've been feeling like a bird

Been a bird ever since my birth

 Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down
