Hop Along - Prior Things Chords

[Intro] x8
|Gb

[Verse]
        Abm                               Gb
Just a few minutes after taking them I realized
G#m          B                          Gb
Hundreds of buzzing flies were all over me
         Abm                        Gb
I looked up and there you were, reading
         Abm                         B
You were on your own, you were on vacation
Gb
You were on vacation
  B
Vacation means "leave"
                              Gb
Means "obliterate all prior things"

[Verse]
      Bbm          B
Here, why don't I try
            Ebm
Why don't I try to make you mine?
Bbm       B         Gb
Why is a lack of imagination the crime?
Bbm          B
Why don't I try
             Ebm              B
Why don't I try to make you mine?
Bbm          B            Gb
Why don't I back you up against this moment?

[Chorus]
   Abm
So when you finally go
     Bbm                Ebm
And when you choose to go
                    Db
I resume my little road
                      Abm
And nobody needs to know
                 Ebm
Will know that I ever meant to leave
                  Db
My little lower road

[Verse]
             B                      Abm  Ebm      Gb
I watch the bird feeder out back in my parents' yard
     Abm             B
The weight of that bluejay
                    Gb
The bully steals it all
              Abm              Gb
And what must happen in your mind
           Abm          B
When you create those silences?
            Gb
Well never mind, I don't want to see
  B                                 Gb
I know it's got nothing to do with me
                   B
Here, why don't I try
             Ebm
Why don't I try to move aside?
B                Gb
I'm still soft, I'm still in my prime
Bbm          B
Why don't I try
            Ebm
Why don't I try to move aside
B    Bbm   B          Gb
I'm still soft, it's still my time

[Chorus] x2
     Db              Abm
And when you finally go
           Ebm
When you choose to go
                    Db
I resume my little road
                    Abm
And nobody needs to know
               Gb                         Ebm
Will know that I ever meant to meant to leave
                 Db
My little lower road
