Living Too Close To The Ground

C          G7             C
Listen and hear each word stop
          G7
Or you'll miss the birds
     C           G7         A7
They sing in the top of the trees
    D7             G7       F
Sometimes when you look you can't see
       C              G7             A7
But up there you will know that it's round
       F          G7           C
You're living too close to the ground

               G7               C
Come where the lights are brand new
          G7
Leave now without a plan
C           G7      A7
You can get away if you choose
   D7      G7                F
Confess it you've nothing to lose
C              G7             A7
And I can show you where it's found
       F          G7           C
You're living too close to the ground

               G7
Rush so you'll pass it by
C            G7
Don't let it catch your eye
C              G7           A7
Don't stop you might look a fool
D7            G7           F
Standing with love in your eyes
       C       G7                  A7
Trying hard to believe what you've found
       F          G7           C
You're living too close to the ground

                G7
I once held her close to me
C            G7
Listened and heard her breathe
     C           G7          A7
Just like I have done all my life
    D7            G7       F
Her heart was the image of mine
       C             G7          A7
Ah but my wings just couldn't be found
      F          G7           C
I was living too close to the ground
