[Intro]

E A E B
E A E B

[Verse 1]

E                                  A
Two birds sitting on a wire
E                                            B
Big one makes his move, he spreads his feathers, rubs his beak
E                                       A
Boy and girl are leaving school
E                                    B
He is shy, but she will follow him, she don’t know why

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m       F#
Life - is short
        C#m            F#
And then - you sleep

[Chorus]

A
Pull down the wall
       E
It’s only masking honesty
A
Pull down the wall
       E
It’s breaking up the family
A
Pull down the wall, you
F#
Hear the true call, you
B
Start the day with little things
            G#m                B                         E*
They’ll blossom into prayers and little wings

[Verse 2]

E                                    A
Look at what is in your heart (at what's in your heart)
E                                           B
How could it be wrong? the little man is telling you
E                                     A
People gathering in the square (gathering in the square)
E                                         B
They’ve had enough, their leaders they are killing them

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m       F#
Life - is short
        C#m            F#
And then - you sleep

[Ulangi Chorus]

[Bridge]

A*                                          D*
When all the banks began to fail
                                                            A*
I thought that we would have a change
                                                D*                                               A*
But they found all this cash, we didn’t have to patch it up again
                                                D*                                      F#m*
They never think to spend the money on the everlasting broke
            B*                 D*
Or the sick, what a waste

[Instrumental]

E A E B
E A E B

[Verse 3]

E                                          A
Two birds in the promised land
E                                     B
One is building walls to keep the other in its place
E                                           A
Imprisoned like the special son
E                                      B
He became the greatest, broke his chains and busted out

[Pre-Chorus]

C#m        F#
Life - is short
        C#m            F#
And then - you sleep

[Ulangi Chorus] (2x)
