(Jason doesn't play throughout parts of the song, it is all based around a 
keyboard riff, which plays in the parts where there are no chords.)


A squirrel in the tree is he watching me

Does he give a damn?

Does he care who I am?

I'm just a man, is that all I am

Are my manners misinterpreted words or only human?

I'm human

 
Murderous crow, hey what you know
 
What you reading about, what you hold in your toes
 
Is that a twig, are you a dove of peace
 
A black dove undercover, with another puzzle piece
 
Are you a riddle to solve all along?
 
Or am I over thinking thoughts of human after all


Only human

Made of flesh, made of sand, made of you and me
F                            G
The planet's talking about a revolution
Em                            Am
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
Dm
They've got a right to live their own life
Amaj7
But we keep paving over paradise


'Cause we're only human
Fm          Gm
Yes we are, only human
A                                                        A#
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Fm
Yes we are, yes we are
Gm
Only human, only human, only human
A# A
So far:


Up in the major's tree, the one he planted back when he was just a boy

Think in 1923

Thirty meters and a foot, take a look, take a climb

What you'll find is the product of a seed

The seed is sown, all alone

It grows above, with a heart of love

Sharp and shelter of the animals of land and cold weather breathing

We're all breathing in

F                            G
The planet's talking about a revolution
Em                            Am
The natural laws ain't got no constitution
Dm
They've got a right to live their own life
Amaj7
But we keep paving over paradise


'Cause we're only human
Fm          Gm
Yes we are, only human
A                                                        A#
If it's our only excuse do you think we'll keep on being only human
Fm          Gm         Fm           A#      A
Yes we are, only human, only human, so far, so far

A#                     A
And this place it will outlive me
C                      G
Before I get to heaven I'll climb that tree
F#                         F
And I will have to give my thanks
F#                          A#
For giving me the branch to swing on
A         G#      G
If I ever fall in love
F#                         F
I'll have to give myself a baby
F#                               G#
I will let my children have their way


'Cause we're only human, yes we are
            A#      A
Only human, so far, so far
