Intro: 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
