INTRO: C F C F C
                                   F
These birds don't sing in the rain

                                      C
They're waiting for the sun to shine

                             F
But I'm a man and a man-made thing

               Am       G
I can sing out anytime

                    F
I can sing in the trees

                                  G
I'll sing before the rivers rise

                   F
Maybe make you believe
G-Am That we were part of paradise
           G            F    G-Am
We could be part of paradise

              G            F      C               F    C
'Cause we were part of paradise, once

                       F
I don't have any wings

                                     C
But there are nights when I can fly

                            F
And I'll give you all of my rings

                    Am          G
Like I'm the oldest tree alive

                            F
But I can't stand like a tree

                                 G
And you can cut me down to size

                 F
Even make me believe
G-Am That we were part of paradise
           G            F    G-Am
We could be part of paradise

              G            F      C               F    C
'Cause we were part of paradise, once

                       F
Nothing ever gets lost

                      C
Just the pieces move around

                               F
And I can't figure out the cost

                             G
I know that it will even out

                     F
Without feather or branch

                                    G
Love brings you closer to the skies

                         F
It can give you back the chance
G-Am To be where it was paradise
        G            F    G-Am
To see a part of paradise

        G           F      C               F    C
To be a part of paradise, once
