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

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

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

F

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