Verse:
C       Em  Eb                A
  Candy says, Iʼve come to hate my body,
Dm              G           C             G
  and all that it requires, in this world.
C       Em  Eb               A
  Candy says, Iʼd like to know completely,
Dm             G               C          G
  what other souls discreetly, talk about.

Chorus:
C          F                    D
Iʼm gonna watch the blue birds fly,
G
over my shoulder.
C          F                    D
Iʼm gonna watch them pass me by,
G
maybe when Iʼm older.
Bb                      F
What do you think Iʼd see,
  G                      Bb
if I could walk away from me?

Verse:
C       Em  Eb            A
  Candy says, I hate the quiet places,
Dm                G                 C
 that cause the smallest taste, of what
     G
will be.
C       Em  Eb           A
  Candy says, I hate the big decisions,
Dm           G                  C
 that cause endless revisions, in my mind.

G

Chorus:
C          F                    D
Iʼm gonna watch the blue birds fly,
G
over my shoulder.
C          F                    D
Iʼm gonna watch them pass me by,
G
maybe when Iʼm older.
Bb                      F
What do you think Iʼd see,
  G                      Bb
if I could walk away from me?
