Lyrics by Anouk Teeuwe and Music by Tore Johansson, Martin Gjerstad
Holland / Eurovision 2013

C#m      D
Isolated from the outside
Bm                G
Clouds have taken all the light.
C#m          D
I have no control,
            Bm
It seems my thoughts wonder
G          C#m
All of the time,
       D
When I try to
Bm          G       Fadd₉
Live life without you.

Chorus:
     C                      Fm  Bb
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     C                   Fm  Bb
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     C  Em^5-/Bb
     No air,
     Fm/G# Bb  G#
     No pride.

   C#m     C#m/E   D
If being myself is what I do wrong
     Bm             G
Than I would rather not be right.
C#m          C#m/E  D
Hopes turned into fear,
            Bm
And with my one wing
  G              C#m
I can’t fly with sunrise,
  Dmaj     Bm
Embrace my dreams tight
    G        Fadd₉
And that’s why.

Chorus:
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     No air,
     Fm/G# Bb
     No pride,
     G#
     Birds.

   F
   To a place without fear,
           D#msus₂ D#m
   With no moonlight.
   (To a place without moonlight
   And fear.)
   F
   All I need are trees and flowers
            D#msus₂ D#m
   And some sunlight.
   (All I need is trees, some flowers
   And sunlight.)
         Gmaj
   Where memories are being made
                 F#m₇^5-  C
   And where the old one dies,
              F/A   A   A₇
   Where love ain’t lost.

Chorus:
     D                      Gm  C
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     D                   Gm  C
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     D                      Gm  C
     Birds falling down the rooftops
     D                   Gm  C
     Out of the sky like raindrops.
     D  F#m^5-/C
     No air,
     Gm/Bb C
     No pride,
     Bb         Am          D
     That’s why birds don’t fly.
