D      A   F              B
Candy says, I've come to hate my body,
Em           A            D            A
and all that it requires, in this world.
D      A   F              B
Candy says, I'd like to know completely,
Em          A                 D        A
what other souls discreetly, talk about.

Chorus:
D          G                     E
I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly,
A
over my shoulder.
D          G                  E
I'm gonna watch them pass me by,
A
maybe when I'm older.
C                      G
What do you think I'd see,
   A                       C
if I could walk away from me?

Candy says
"I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste of what will be"
Candy says
"I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions in my mind"
