F#m  E  A D  E 
    Leave it be 
F#m  E    A        D                E 
    Don't make the same mistakes as me 
         D        E 
Cause I gave up quickly 
   F#m         A            E 
To fly like a bird on the breeze 
       D           E 
And I fell down swiftly, 
  F#m        A              E 
Shaking the fruit from the trees 
  F#m     A            E 
Tearing holes in the knees of my jeans 
    D     A        E               F#m  E  A  D  E 
So don't make the same mistakes as me 


F#m   E  A   D   E 
    Save it, please 
F#m   E  A     D    E 
    Save our sweet simplicity 
            D        E 
And you'll rise up gently 
     F#m         A            E 
To float like a bird on the breeze 
             D          E 
And you'll climb down slowly, 
F#m       A       E 
Taken to feet gracefully 
         F#m          A             E 
Treading soft on the soles of your feet 
         D     A         E              F#m  E  A  D  E 
And you won't make the same mistakes as me 


          D         E 
So let's rise up gently, 
  F#m          A            E 
Floating like birds on the breeze 
           D         E 
And we'll take it  slowly, 
F#m       A             E 
Over the town and the trees 
           F#m 
And we'll land 
           A              E 
Where the sand meets the sea 
         F#m           A           E 
We'll be soft on the soles of our feet 
        D      A        E              F#m   E   A   D   E 
And we won't make the same mistakes as me
