plan to shave and it's a goofy thing but I just gotta say, hey, I'm doing
  G      G          G/B          C        G         D

Em        C    G           D/F#            Em       C     D
seed I've sown, gave it my best and then I left it alone, I hope they're
C       G
doin' alright
    G         G/B       C           G             D

Em          C  G            D/F#       Em            C    D
looking' at me, head in the clouds but harmless as a tree, I guess he's

doin' alright

Em             G                      C    Em         Am7     G/B  C
Sometimes it's lonely, sometimes it's only me and the shadows that fill
D    Em                  G                    C        Em             Am  C
