If they tell me that the bees

What am I supposed to tell you  
 
                              A

What if the wind

And what if we're not ready to fly  
 
                       A 
I can't tell you anything  
            F#m 
But the truth  
                       A 
I can't tell you anything

Tree tops they touch the ground

Through the mud, feel the clay  
E                   A 
Build it up, make it sing

Make it strong, give it waves -->(I got this verse by ear, but I think it's okay)

But the truth  
 
E 
What is this place  
A 
Who am I  
         C#m          F#m 
Why did we come here  

E 
What is this place  
A 
Who am I  
         C#m          F#m 
Why did we come here  

E                     A

    C#m 
But I don't know  
          F#m 
That we're meant to know  

E                     A

That we're meant to know
