[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
[Intro]
Am Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Am
[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
[Outro]
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Am
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Dm
G Cmaj7 Am Cmaj7 Am Bb Am
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Am
Fmaj7 Cmaj7 Bb Am
