birds of paradise Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Don't let the fear in
Don't let the hatred through the door
And the fever, like a spider, [Em]walk your [Am]skin
Can you still hear him?
Still screaming science at the screen
While the doctors try to cover [C]the sin
Oh it's a mad world honey
And this crazy little man keeps spinning
it and spinning [Am]it again
Don't let the fear in
Don't keep your naked little heart, trapped,
beating in the cage it's [F]in

[Verse 2]
We're just [F]two cats sitting
on a hot tin [C]roof
We're just two young hearts running down the
backstreets like we never went to [F]school
We're just [Am]soldiers fighting in a war
[C]against our own ad[F]vice[G]
We're just [Am]birds of paradise
[F]

[Verse 3]
[C]
Beyond the white light
You don't know if heavens in your mind
And the devil is just [Em]a twinkle
in [Am]your eye
You've led a short life
Short from the moment your were born
To the moment that the sun
filled [C]the sky
Remember long nights buddy?
When we were kids and love
was [Em]ours to [Am]find
You've led a short life
Not even Valium can' kill that
k k k k kick [F]inside

[Verse 4]
We're just [F]two cats sitting
on a hot tin [C]roof
We're just two young hearts running down the
backstreets like we never went to [F]school
We're just [Am]soldiers fighting in [C]a war
against our [F]own [G]ad [Am]vice[F]
[G]We're just bir[Am]ds of paradise

[Interlude 1]

[Verse 5]
So hold [Am]on[C]
I know some[F]times this crazy world can tear
the [C]flesh [Am]from our bones[Em][Am]
Please [G]hold [C]on
And when [F]sometimes you're not yourself
[C]be glad at lea[Am]st you're som[G]eone
[F]Old Soldier

[Verse 6]
We're just [Am]two cats sit
[C]ting on a hot tin [F]roof
We're just [Am]two young hearts running [C]down the
backstreets like we [F]never went to school
We're just [Am]soldiers fighting in
[C]a war against our own [F]advice[G]
We're just [Am]birds of [F]paradis[G]e
We're just [Am]birds of [F]paradis[G]e
We're just [Am]birds of paradise
