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

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

Verse:
B       D#m  D            G#
  Candy says, I hate the quiet places,
C#m                F#                 B
 that cause the smallest taste, of what
     F#
will be.
B       D#m  D           G#
  Candy says, I hate the big decisions,
C#m           F#                  B
 that cause endless revisions, in my mind.

F#

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