LOUDER THAN WORDS by Jonathan Larson (tick, tick, BOOM!) [Intro] Eb Ab Eb Ab [Verse]
EbWhy do we Abplay with fire? EbWhy do we Abrun our finger through the Ebflame? Why do we Ableave our hand on the Gmstove alEbthough we know, we're in for some Bbpain?
Oh, Ebwhy do we reAbfuse to hang a Eblight When the Abstreets are dangerEbous? Why does it Abtake an accidGment Abbefore the Ebtruth gets Bbthrough to Ebus?
[Chorus]
EbCages or Abwings Which do you Ebprefer? Ask the Abbirds EbFear or love, baby, Abdon't say the answer EbActions speak louder than Abwords
[Verse]
EbWhy should we Abtry to be our Ebbest When we can Abjust get by and still Ebgain? Why do we Abnod our heads alGmthough we Ebknow, the Bbboss is wrong as Ebrain?
EbWhy should we Abblaze a trail When the well Ebworn path seems safe and Abso inviting? EbHow, as we Abtravel, can we GmSee the Abdismay, And Ebkeep from Bbfighting? Eb
[Chorus]
EbCages or Abwings Which do you Eb prefer? Ask the Abbirds EbFear or love, baby, Abdon't say the answer EbActions speak louder than (louder than, louder than) Abwords
[Bridge]
EbWhat does it take Abto wake up a generation? EbHow can you make someone Abtake off and fly? If Bbwe don't wake up And Abshake up the nation EbWe'll eat the dust Of the Abworld wondering Bbwhy Ab Bb Ab
[Verse]
EbWhy do we Abstay with lovers Who Ebwe know, down deep Just Abaren't right? EbWhy would we Abrather Put ourGmselves through Ebhell BbThan sleep alone at Ebnight?
EbWhy do we Abfollow leaders who Ebnever lead? Why does it Abtake catastrophe to Ebstart a revolution AbIf we're so free? Tell me Ebwhy Someone tell me Bbwhy So many people Ebbleed
[Chorus]
EbCages or Abwings Which do you Ebprefer? Ask the Abbirds EbFear or love, baby, Abdon't say the answer GmActions speak louder than louder than louder than Elouder than loader than
ECages or Awings Which do you Eprefer? Ask the Abirds EFear or love, baby ADon't say the answer EActions speak Alouder Louder than, Louder than EThey speak Alouder Louder than, Louder than EActions speak Alouder than...!
