Chords

=============================== [INTRO] Bb F Dm F Bb Dm Bb F [VERSE I]
      Bb              F
Gonna lay down in the grass

    Dm         F     Bb       Dm         Bb    F
And watch that acorn split in two, slowly take root

          Bb             F          Dm   F
While the clock upon the wall makes idle boasts

       Bb         Dm      Bb      F
And my mind's out cruising silent coasts
[VERSE II]
           Bb               F          Dm       F
Though the ghosts of better days might twist my eyes

     Bb        Dm                 Bb          F
Gonna stand my ground, watch that sapling rise

        Bb                 F               Dm              F
Just as long as I ha€™ve the strength, well, I'll raise that flag

          Bb   Dm        Bb          F
Like a wisp of cloud from a mountain crag
[CHORUS]
            Am
Now this is awkward

F            Dm           Am  Am/C
 I kept it bottled up too long
[VERSE III]
           Bb            F         Dm     F
Years like tiny drops of rain on a glassy lake

         Bb        Dm     Bb          F
Leaving naught but circles in their wake

          Bb           F             Dm         F
Though we barely comprehend what the question is

      Bb      Dm          Bb            F
Only know for certain, the answer is yes
[CHORUS]
            Am
Now this is awkward
