Tom: G | G | Am | D | G | [Verse 1] G I flirt with Brancusi's gesture Am I'm a bird in space D G As his ghost escorts me to a magic place G Am I'm dressed all in colours, neither white nor black D G Ask the begged question, need I come back [Chorus] G Am I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight G How I long to be G Am And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight G How I long to be Am G How I long to be [Verse 2] G Am Sing on Olympus Mons so all the world can see D G Perfection in my structure, I have all I need G Am There's not a single stain on my song tonight D G When time is endless and I'm always right [Chorus] G Am And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight G How I long to be G Am And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight G How I long to be Am G How I long to be [Chorus] G Am And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight G How I long to be G Am And I'll look nice like a bird in paradise D Forever caught in mid-flight [Outro] G How I long to be Am G How I long to be Am G How I long to be
