verse 1: 
F 
I don't do well if I'm kept behind an office 
C                        Em 
desk inside it makes me lose my mind 
              F                        
Which wanders endlessly where all the birds fly freely with their 
Em                      G 
silhouettes and perfect symmetry 


           C 
I've got a pocketful of poetry 
           Am                  
I've got a head full of songs, a heart with wings 
             F              G                   C 
You couldn't tie me down to anything and that's enough for me 

verse 2: 
F 
I draw doodles of eccentric faces in the 
C                 Em 
margin spaces of important papers 
        F   
Then I hand them in with a comedic grin 
Em                      G 
You ask if I need help, oh where do I begin? 

Chorus 

Bridge: 
Am 
People are good, loving, they tell me 
F 
Do as you should, all will be well they say 
Em 
Life is a test, please give the best answer 
F 
A or B or C, pick one instantly 
G 
What if there's so much more to me? 


           C 
I've got a pocketful of poetry 
           Am                  
I've got a head full of songs, a heart with wings 
             F              G                   C 
You couldn't tie me down to anything and that's enough for me   3x
