Gathering Dust
G C G C
G C
I got no reason
G C
But that I must
G C
Maybe I feel
G C
like I've been gatherin' dust
G C
I must leave this harbour for the sea
G C
I'm too young to settle down and make a home
G C
But I don't know where I'm wanting to be
G C
I just know I have to be there alone
D/F# C D/F# C
Stole my time, all my time
D/F# C D/F# G C G C
Stole my time for you
G C
Pale winter sun
G C
is beatin' the ground
G C
Why'm I throwin' away
G C
The best thing that I've found
G C
My young heart's in tatters and I'm sure
G C
That it will be a long time healing
G C
It's so hard to see what I'm doing this for
G C
When loneliness is all that I'm feeling
D/F# C D/F# C
Stole my time, all my time
D/F# C D/F# G
Spend my time, for you
D/F# C
Now the wind it is blowing
D/F# G
Blowing leaves from the trees
D/F# C
I've got no use knowing
D/F# G
That with time it'll ease
D/F# C
I don't know where I'm going
D/F# G
Hope I get there soon
D/F# C
Cos my soul is hollow
D/F# G
As the sorrowful moon
D/F# C
Na na na na ....
The night is raining on my weary head
Taking me back
See the sun spread its wings of gold
As the dawn unfurls
Hear the song that the moon sings
To the darkened world
Feel the fire lighting
In the bitter cold
It's like the light that shines
Through the windows of your soul

Birds Without Wings
C G C G
C G
Wishing that something would happen
C G
a change in this place
C G
'cos I'm tearing off the fancy wrapping
Em D
find an empty package
C
Take for a while
G
your trumpet from your lip,
C G
loosen your hold, loosen your grip
C
on your old ways
G
that have fallen out of step
Em D C
in a changing time
G C
hoist a new flag
G C G C
hoist a new flag
C G
Angry sun burn down
C G
judging us all
C G
guilty of neglect and disrespect
Em D
and thinking small
C G
And death by boredom
C G
death by greed
C G
if we can't stop taking
C G
more than we need
C G
But across the fractured landscape
C G
I find the same things
C G
tired ideas
C G
birds without wings
Am D G
Birds without wings
Am D G
birds without wings
C G
And these are just thoughts
C G
on lack-lustre times
C G
I've no interest
C G
in excuses you can find
C G
Like you've had a hard day
C G
now your're too tired to care
C G
now your're too tired to care
C G
you've had a hard day
C G
Well across the fractured landscape
C G
I see the same things
C G
tired ideas broken values
C
many with the notion
G
that to share is to lose
C G
a hollow people bound by a lack
C G
of imagination and too much looking back
C
without the courage
G
to give a new thing a chance
C G
grounded by this ignorance
C
and the cat comes
Am
We're just,
D G Am
Birds without wings
D G Am
birds without wings
D G
birds without wings
