[Verse 1]

Bm                              D
   I know there's beauty in the burden. . .
         G                               D     A
And even on my darkest day that sun will shine
         G                                 Bm
Ooh, but right now even though my heart is hurtin'. . .
G                          A
All is as it should be and everything will be alright



[CHORUS 1]

         D                           A
Hide the sun to see the moon, hear a lie and know the truth
              Bm                          G
Grow a little wiser every day as you grow farther from your youth
Em          A                   D      A      Bm
Silence any melody that doesn't make a joyful sound
         G                    A                   D      A
Even the bird with the broken wing sings from the ground



[Verse 2]

Bm                               D
   I know there's a lesson to be learned here. . .
          G                                 D          A
That even castles made of stone will surely fall. . . apart
              G                            D
So, won't you come now and tell me to have no fear
        G                           A
Help me stand up on my own, help me heal this broken heart



[CHORUS 2]

           D                                A
Close your eyes to hear the song, hold your tongue to speak your mind
             Bm                              G
See a little beauty every day though you may feel you're goin' blind
     Em       A                   D         A       Bm
Have faith in humanity that every lost soul will be found
         G                    A                   Bm        Bm
Even the bird with the broken wing sings from the ground



[Bridge]

                            G                                  A
Need to know you're not the only one who feels lost and lonely darlin'
                            Bm
Raise your head up, look at me
                              G*              G
You are beautiful; I hope you see what I see. . .
      D                 A
I see starlight. . . in your eyes
        Bm           D             G*            N.C.
see the perfect combination of the Universe. . . And I



[Outro]

         D                           A
Hide the sun to see the moon, hear a lie and know the truth
              Bm                          G
Grow a little wiser every day as you grow farther from your youth
          Em       A                   D         A       Bm
Ooh, have faith in humanity that every lost soul will be found
         G                    A
Even the bird with the broken wing,
         Bm                   Em*
Even the bird with the broken wing. . .
         G*                   A*                  D      A      Bm  D  G*
Even the bird with the broken wing sings from the ground
