[Intro] Eb / Db6 / Daug / (x4) [Verse]
Eb    Db6       Daug
  One day we're just like

Eb       Db6   Daug
  "Leave It to Beaver."

Eb    Db6      Daug
  One day it's just a

Eb  Db6   Bbsus
  Typical life

Eb    Db6       Daug
  And then he's off on

Eb  Fm7     F#dim  Eb/G
  A trip to Jamie-land:

Cm         Cm/Bb          Cm/A     Ab7    G7b9
Staring catatonic out the window

Cm          Cm/Bb             Cm/A        Ab7
Barely even breathing all the while
[Chorus]
                Eb
And then he'll smile

    Fm7                Eb/G            Bbm9
His eyes light up, and deep within the ground

Eb7b9     Abmaj7
Without a sound

   Ddim   G7       Cm7
A moment comes to life

   Bdim Bbm6 Am7b5         Abm
And I'm    a part of that

      Eb/G    F#dim
I'm a part of that

      Fm7     Bbsus
I'm a part of that
[Verse]
Eb     Db6      Daug
  Next day it's just like

Eb    Db6  Daug
  It never happened

Eb      Db6    Daug
  We're making dinners

Eb      Db6    Bbsus
  We're making plans

Eb     Db6     Daug
  Then he gets on the

Eb     Fm7      F#dim Eb/G
  Mule train to Jamie-land:

Cm            Cm/Bb      Cm/A      Ab7     G7b9
Handful after handful of Doritos

Cm           Cm/Bb      Cm/A               Ab7
Circling the apartment, logging miles
[Chorus]
             Eb
And then he smiles

    Fm7                Eb/G         Bbm9
His eyes light up, and how can I complain?

Eb7b9     Abmaj7
Yes, he's insane

    Dmin      G7     Cm7
But look what he can do

   Bdim Bbm6 Am7b5        Abm
And I'm    a part of that

      Eb/G    F#dim
I'm a part of that

      Fm7     Bbsus
I'm a part of that
[Bridge]
         Cmaj7  G/B
And it's true

          F/A            G/B
I tend to follow in his stride

    F      C/E     Dm7
Instead of side by side

   C        Bb       (Bb F/A Bb   Bb/D)
I take his cue

Ebmaj7 Bb/D                Ab/C                Bb/D
True,      but there's no question, there's no doubt

   Ab      Eb/G     Fm7
I said I'd stick it out

    Eb       Db6
And follow through

           Bbsus / / /  Ab6 / / / Gbmaj7 / / /
And when I do
[Chorus]
Fm7    Emaj7 Ebmaj7   Fm7
   Then he   smiles

    Eb/G             Bbm9
And where else can I go?

Eb7b9    Abmaj7
I didn't know

    Dmin     G7   Cm7   (Bbsus)
The rules do not apply

             Eb     Fm7
And then he smiles

     Eb/G              Bbm9
And nothing else makes sense

Eb7b9    Abmaj7
While he invents

     Dmin         G7     Cm7
The world that's passing by

   Bdim Bbm6 Am7b5        Abm
And I'm    a part of that

      Eb/G    F#dim
I'm a part of that

      Fm7     Bbsus
I'm a part of that

      Cm7    Bdim
Aren't I?

Bbm6  Am7b5   Abm
I'm a part of that

      Eb/G    F#dim
I'm a part of that

      Fm7     Bbsus
I'm a part of that
[Outro] Eb Ab/C Db Eb
