Verse 1:
Em Em Am Am G G B B
Now is the climax to the story
Em Em Am Am G G B B
That gives the demons and angels purpose
Em Em Am Am G G B B
They fly around while we are walking
Em Em Am Am G G B B
And mold our emotions just to please them

Chorus:
C C D D Em Em
I am cold can you hear
G G D D C C
I will fly with no hope no fear
C C D D Em Em
And the ground taunts my wings
- G G D D
Plummet as I sing plummet as I sing

Em Em Am Am G G B B
Em Em Am Am G G B B

Verse: 2
Em Em
All we are is an isle of flightless birds
Am Am
We find our worth in giving birth and stuff
G G B B
We're lining our homes against winding roads
B B
And we think the going is tough
Em Em Am Am
We pick songs to sing remind us of things that nobody cares about
G G B B
And honestly we're probably more suicidal than ever now
Em Em Am Am
If you decide to live by what you think's wrong and what's right
G G
Believe me you'll begin to wish you were sleeping
B B
Your weeping will creep in your head and you'll cry
Em Em Am Am
But if we wake up every morning and decide what we believe
G G B B
We can take a part our very heart and the light will set us free

Chorus:
C C D D Em Em
I am cold can you hear
G G D D C C
I will fly with no hope no fear
C C D D Em Em
And the ground taunts my wings
- G G D D
Plummet as I sing plummet as I

(One strum)
C C D D Em Em
I am cold can you hear
G G D D C C
I will fly with no hope no fear
D D Em Em
And the ground taunts my wings
G G D D
Plummet as I sing plummet as I sing

Outro:
C C
How frustrating and so degrading
His time we're wasting
D D
As time will fly by and the sky will cry as light is fading
Em Em
And he is waiting oh so patiently
G G D D
While we repeat the same routine as we will please comfortability and
C C
Please don't think about why you can't sleep in the evening
D D
And please don't be afraid of what your soul is really thinking
Em Em
Your soul knows good and evil your soul knows both sides
G G D D
And it's time you pick your battle and I promise you this is mine
I promise you

C C D D Em Em G G D D
C C D D Em Em G G D D

About this song: Isle Of Flightless Birds

This song is about people, christians or not, who waste their potential in life. This is referenced as an isle of flightless birds because they have these beautiful wings but they choose not to use them for what they are meant. The song is meant to inspire the listener to action, and to make them stop being apathetic about things that have eternal weight. Read more on Last.fm.
