When my baby went to work today I pretended that she left me for good
I don't even know why I did it
I just wanted to feel that loss
To know if I could take it
'Cause no matter how good it's going I know that inevitably
Invariably
And ineffably
I will f*ck this up
I jilled off, took my [A]girl pills and [Bm]just sat in the car watching the birds
They're coming or they're going, I don't know
I never kept good tɾack of time
I just sat there and [Bm]daydreamed for [Dm7]a while, wishing that was [Am7]me, flying somewhere
With a purpose
No, an instinct
Not something pure but just
Something I could understand [Bm]
I'd be [Am]drummin' on [C7]the tɾees
Buzzing' with the bees
Eatin' sap
Not the crap that I've come to [C7]need
I would never speak a word
Sing and [Bm]then be [Am]heard
Not a tweet
Just a beak
Just another bird-my [A]familiar
I drove to [C7]our diner and [Bm]sat at our booth and [Bm]it felt empty without her
The waitɾess comes over and [Bm]she asks
"Oh where's your little girlfriend I always love seeing you [A7two"
I feel dirty-damaged-no I feel naughty
Eating a fucking cheeseburger at 9 am all [Em]alone
Is this what it'll feel like [F]when things finally go south for [Dm7]us?
A plane passes overhead and [Bm]it startles the birds
I watch them [A]fly away
I just watch them [A]fly away
My baby comes home and [Bm]i tell her oh god i missed you [A7and [Bm]she says "i missed you [A7too bug"
She asks if i'm okay
I tell her maybe [Am]it's the weather, maybe [Am]it's these hormones but
I'm not quite feeling like [F]myself
