[Verse 1]
C                    Dm                    Am        C
Pour the last of the wine down the kitchen sink
C                 Dm               Am        C
I don't even have time to finish a drink
F                                           C
There's a moment always slipping through my hands
F                                              G
There's a breath I always chase but just can't catch

[Chorus]
F                 G       C                 F
As I look out the window I wonder where the sparrow
Am           G                F
Goes to find shelter from the storm
Dm                          C
Does that blue gray sky get tired of crying?
F                         G              C    F
Does that lonely bird get tired of flying?

[Verse 2]
C               Dm                Am     C
If I could only stop the spinning wheel
C               Dm                 Am     C
Let myself just feel what I really feel
F                               C
I imagine I'm a stranger on the street
F                                       G
But the ringing phone breaks through my reverie

[Chorus]
F                 G       C                 F
As I look out the window I wonder where the sparrow
Am           G                F
Goes to find shelter from the storm
Dm                          C
Does that blue gray sky get tired of crying?
F                         G           F     G  Am  C  F
Does that lonely bird get tired of flying?  Oooh-  
Dm                          C
Does that blue gray sky get tired of crying?
Dm                        C
Does that lonely bird get tired...

[Chorus]
F                 G       C                 F
As I look out the window I wonder where the sparrow
Am           G                F
Goes to find shelter from the storm
Dm                          C
Does that blue gray sky get tired of crying?
F                          C
Does the sun wish it could just stop shining?
F                         G            C
Does that lonely bird get tired .....of flying?
C           Am
I don't know
