C#
Long ago, I was flyin' in the air
Lookin' at the sea below, I was huntin' krill
Divin' down, in a flash, I'd scoop 'em up
Thrashin' in my mandible, it was such a thrill

F#      G#6              F#/A#  G#6
Me, my friends, we were killers

Chorus:
    C#
Now I'm just a bird with a broken wing
                            A#  A#7
And I still have a song to sing
D#m                    G#7
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
C#
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
                            A#  A#7
And this beautiful song to sing
D#m                         G#7
Don't feel sad for me, I'm right where I wanna be

The stupid cat, always sneakin' up on me
Thinkin' I would be his meal, 'til I slipped up and away
Singing out, the melody came endlessly
High or low, I felt so free, I had somethin' to say

But he'll never catch my melody

Chorus

C#              F#               G#           C#
Nothin' matters in the world and everyone is free
    C#              F#           G#      C#
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me
C#              F#               G#           C#
Nothin' matters in the world and everyone is free
    C#             F#           G#       C#
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me

Chorus
