Intro:

E A6add9 A#m11 A6add9 A5 F#m11 Amaj9


Verse 1:
E               A6add9
Here we are yet again
              A#m11            B5
I'm under the table killing my pen
              A5
Convincing my cousin who's three
      F#m11                   Amaj9
I'm a beautiful dragon with a secret to keep
E                         A6add9
He slides right under the bench
              A#m11                    A6add9
He asks me if I can fly and I tell him yes
                      A5
He says he'll keep my secret for me
         F#m11                       Amaj9
From the rest of the branches on our family tree

Chorus:
     E A5 Amaj9 A5 E                A6add9 A5
They circle up for prayer, while I'm gazing
     E A5 Amaj9 A5 E                     A7b9 A5
From the window by the stairs, they look crazy
        E   A5 Amaj9 A5 E           A6add9 A5
But I'm sure to them I look like the same thing
         A
A couple sentences dressed up
         F#m11       Amaj9
As conversation at a party


Verse 2:
E              A6add9
Before we go to bed
               A#m11                      B5
We walk to the farm by my house round the bend
                  A5
To play a game of touch midnight-catch
  F#m11               Amaj9
A family tradition of making me less
E                   A6add9
While I'm trying to break
                A#m11                    B5
The way that it cycles every time that I play
             A5
The prophecy fulfills with it's best
     F#m11
If I watch from the sidelines
     Amaj9
If I watch from the bench

Chorus:
     E A5 Amaj9 A5 E            A6add9 A5
They circle up for game, while I gaze in
         E A5 Amaj9 A5 E             A7b9  A5
From the window by the stairs, I can place them
       E A5 Amaj9 A5 E             A6add9  A5
They're ruffling my hair and they're saying
        A
Are you trying to pretend like you're
   F#m11       Amaj9
At some cooler party again?


Outro:
E A6add9

         A#m11     B5             A5
And they walk away missing what I said
        F#m11      Amaj9       E
And I'm talking to myself again
