Biography:
Andrew Bird (born July 11, 1973) is an American musician. He was born in Lake Bluff, Illinois and resides in the Chicago area. Bird is a singer, a violinist and, since 2004, a guitarist. He is also an accomplished whistler.
His early work, which echoed gypsy jazz and traditional folk, has led into his current sound, which mixes rock with more broad compositions. His years of solo song-craft have now enabled him to produce a sound that is uniquely his own.

[Verse 1]
Dm
See her light, how it reigns
Am
So hard on your high plains
Bb Gm
So you take such pains
Dm A
That she won't notice you
Dm
And your x-rays
Am
Of your Paleo man
All gaze
Bb Gm
How they rest, and play
Dm
Slowly corrupting you
C F
I wonder what the chance is you wanted to
E Am
A thousand vacant stares won't make it true
A7
Make it true
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C F F#m Gm
You need a witness just to know you're there
C F F#m Gm
From the tips of your fingers, every strand of hair
C F
You know someone's watching you watching me watching you
F#m Gm
And all that we look upon
C A A
You may not know me but you feel my stare
[Chorus]
Dm
And if she sees you, it changes you
Am
Rearranges your molecules
Bb
And if you see her, it changes her
Gm Dm A
She's a danger now, after school
Dm
And if she sees you, it changes you
Am
Rearranges your molecules
Bb
And if you see her, it changes her
Gm Dm
She'll be seeing you after school
C F
Here's where gentlemen avert their eyes
E Am
Maybe she's a gentleman in disguise
A7
In disguise
[Pre-Chorus]
Gm C F F#m Gm
You need a witness just to know you're there
C F F#m Gm

And all that we look upon

You may not know me but you feel my stare
