These shapes will work on guitar too if you put the capo on fret 5 and imagine "xx" in front of each of them.

[Verse 1]
People don'
t sing about d
ays that didn'
t happen, and
people don'
t cry for tear
s that weren't
shed.
Time doesn'
t stop when yo
u close your e
yes, and our
big ol' clo
ck will just k
eep ticking 't
il it dies.
[Chorus]
Can you hea
r the hum of t
he hummingb
ird? Can you
smell the b
reeze carrying
leaves that i
t lured?
Can you cry fo
r your mother
and your fathe
r too?
Can you breath
e until there'
s no air left
in you?
[Verse 2]
What if the
re were no win
gs on a butter
fly, and
what if we
walked a thous
and days?
How long wo
uld it take if
we all held h
ands, and
how many mi
les could we g
o before our h
eads lay down?
[Chorus]
Can you hea
r the hum of t
he hummingb
ird? Can you
smell the b
reeze carrying
leaves that i
t lured?
Can you cry fo
r your mother
and your fathe
r too?
Can you breath
e until there'
s no air left
in you?
[Bridge]
No one's going
home tonight
without a he
artache and th
e moonlight.
Keep on moving
on until ther
e's nothing el
se to move on
to and we're g
one.
[Chorus]
Can you breath
e until there'
s no air left
in you?
