[Verse]
Bm Bm7/A Gmaj7
Yesterday the odds were stacked in favor of my expectations
F#m Bm F#m A6 A
Flyin’ above the rest, never fallin’ from the nest
Bm Bm7/A Gmaj7
Tuesday came and went and I’m in a little situation
F#m Bm F#m A6 A
Maybe it’s for the best, I could live alone, I guess
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 D7
Maybe I could stand a - lone
C G/B Bb6(b5) Bb6
Maybe I’m strong as stone
D Dmaj7 D7
Even though the bird has flown
C G/B Bb6(b5) Bb6
Maybe she’ll fly on home
[Verse]
Bm Bm7/A Gmaj7
Excuse me if I’m keeping you apart from better conversation
F#m Bm F#m A6 A
Hung up on all my doubt, trying to sort the whole thing out
Bm Bm7/A Gmaj7
Tell me that I’m smart enough to deal with all the information
F#m Bm F#m A6 A
Spinning inside my head, every word she ever said
[Chorus]
D Dmaj7 D7
Maybe I can stand a - lone
C G/B Bb6(b5) Bb6
Maybe I’m strong as stone
D Dmaj7 D7
Even though the bird has flown
C G/B Bb5 C Csus C Csus
Maybe she’ll fly on home

Maybe she’ll fly on home
