Am Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Am


[Verse 1: John Darnielle]
Am            Fmaj7          Cmaj7    Bb Am
No one washed behind my ears
Am              Fmaj7         Cmaj7    Bb Dm
High in the trees alone for years
Dm            G                                   Cmaj7
Practicing my solitary scales 'til they rose like balloons
              Am                 Cmaj7   Bb Am
Watching them go where they will go

[Verse 2]
Am                  Fmaj7          Cmaj7    Bb Am
Face in the leaves, song in my throat
Am                    Fmaj7         Cmaj7    Bb Dm
Fall through the air, hoping to float
Dm            G                              Cmaj7
Practicing my solitary scales 'til they grow heavy
             Am
Too heavy to carry
              Cmaj7              Am     Bb Am
Watching them go where they will go
