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
D
As their mopeds and their heartbeats speed up
C D
Oh, the times I've wasted
C D
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
C D
Oh, the times I've wasted
C D
Oh, the times I've wasted
C G D
But my country drowns in wealth
C G D
And I've got excellent health
G
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

Ain't my mind gonna shoot me down

For a life time been thinkin' about life and fate
D
Been avoiding all the big decisions
G
Sitting by my computer screen
D
If I'm tired of it there's television
C D
Oh, the times I've wasted
G
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
