Chords with lyrics

Intro: x8
|GbGb

Verse:
    AbmAbm                GbGb
Just a few minutes after taking them I realized
G# minorG#m     BB             GbGb
Hundreds of buzzing flies were all over me
     AbmAbm            GbGb
I looked up and there you were, reading
     AbmAbm             BB
You were on your own, you were on vacation
GbGb
You were on vacation
 BB
Vacation means "leave"
               GbGb
Means "obliterate all prior things"

Verse:
   BbmBbm     BB
Here, why don't I try
      EbmEbm
Why don't I try to make you mine?
BbmBbm    BB     GbGb
Why is a lack of imagination the crime?
BbmBbm     BB
Why don't I try
       EbmEbm       BB
Why don't I try to make you mine?
BbmBbm     BB      GbGb
Why don't I back you up against this moment?

Chorus:
  AbmAbm
So when you finally go
   BbmBbm        EbmEbm
And when you choose to go
          DbDb
I resume my little road
           AbmAbm
And nobody needs to know
         EbmEbm
Will know that I ever meant to leave
         DbDb
My little lower road

Verse:
       BB           AbmAbm EbmEbm   GbGb
I watch the bird feeder out back in my parents' yard
   AbmAbm       BB
The weight of that bluejay
          GbGb
The bully steals it all
       AbmAbm       GbGb
And what must happen in your mind
      AbmAbm     BB
When you create those silences?
      GbGb
Well never mind, I don't want to see
 BB                 GbGb
I know it's got nothing to do with me
          BB
Here, why don't I try
       EbmEbm
Why don't I try to move aside?
BB        GbGb
I'm still soft, I'm still in my prime
BbmBbm     BB
Why don't I try
      EbmEbm
Why don't I try to move aside
BB  BbmBbm  BB     GbGb
I'm still soft, it's still my time

Chorus: x2
   DbDb       AbmAbm
And when you finally go
      EbmEbm
When you choose to go
          DbDb
I resume my little road
          AbmAbm
And nobody needs to know
        GbGb             EbmEbm
Will know that I ever meant to meant to leave
         DbDb
My little lower road
