[INTRO]
Bb  F   Dm  F
Bb  Dm  Bb  F


[VERSE I]
      Bb              FGonna lay down in the grass
    Dm         F     Bb       Dm         Bb    FAnd watch that acorn split in two, slowly take root
          Bb             F          Dm   FWhile the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts
       Bb         Dm      Bb      FAnd my mind's out cruising silent coasts


[VERSE II]
           Bb               F          Dm       FThough the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes
     Bb        Dm                 Bb          FGonna stand my ground, watch that sapling rise
        BB                 F               Dm              FJust as long as I ha€™ve the strength, well, I'll raise that flag
          Bb   Dm        Bb          FLike a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag


[CHORUS]
            AmNow this is awkward
F            Dm           Am  Am/C I kept it bottled up too long


[VERSE III]
           Bb            F         Dm     FYears like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake
         Bb        Dm     Bb          FLeaving naught but circles in their wake
          Bb           F             Dm         FThough we barely comprehend what the question is
      Bb      Dm          Bb            FOnly know for certain, the answer is yes


[CHORUS]
            AmNow this is awkward
AmReally do no€™t know where to begin
