VERSE 1

E
Regulars reach for wonders desires,
C#m
Fed up with rain n forest fires,
Ab                                                A
There's nothing bold enough to say there is nothing at all.
E                                      C#m
These days are going fine, she's not a friend of mine, 
           A
There's nothing said so sweet,
  B
Can anyone hear me?



CHORUS

C#m                                  B      
I never wrote these lines see there rise from beyond,
       A                              B
See a friend of mine has a gift of song,
E                      Ab                   A             B 
Delivered well, delivered clear my bird is singing in my ear.
E                       C#m                                  
I have a gem of a bird, sits in my pocket whispers
          A                                      E
To me wonderful words, the most magnificent words
E                                                              
She puts the pen and the paper in my hand
C#m                            
says things she does not think 
  A                                 E
I understand,But I know better than her.
