[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 have 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
Am
Really do not know where to begin
[BRIDGE]
F Dm Am
I kept it bottled up too long
Am/C
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
F Dm Am
Don't ask me where the time has gone
Am/C
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
F Dm Am
Days I can't tell no right from wrong
Am/C
(I know that feeling too, yeah)
F Dm Am
I kept it bottled up too long
Am/C
(Know that feeling, know that feeling)
F Dm
Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
Am Am/C
(Like sunlight breaking through, yeah)
F Dm
Tell me about it, tell me about it, tell me about it
Am Am/C
(I know that feeling too)
