Belle and Sebastian - Two Birds: chords

F                      A#
Two birds sitting on a wire
 F                            C
Big one makes his move, he spreads his feathers,
rubs his beak
 F                         A#
Boy and girl are leaving school
F                        C
He is shy, but she will follow him,
she don’t know why
Dm          G
Life - is short
     Dm          G
And then - you sleep

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

Look at what is in your heart
How could it be wrong?
The little man is telling you
People gathering in the square
They’ve had enough
Their leaders they are killing them
Life is short, and then you sleep

Chorus

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

Two birds in the promised land
One is building walls to keep the other in its place
Imprisoned like the special son
He became the greatest,
broke his chains and busted out
Life is short, and then you sleep
