What is this thing in life
Dm Gm
that persuades me to spend time away from you?
Gm Am7 Dm D7/9
If you can answer this you can have the moon.
Gm Am7
This is the place to be
Dm Gm
anyway you can see there’s a lovely view.
Gm Am7 D Dsus4-D
Why are there always so many other things to do?
Bb Eb F Gm
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
Gm/F Eb F
when I’m alone I think of you.
Gm Gm/F Eb
And the life we’d lead if we could only be free
F Bb Eb F Gm
from these distractions.
The postman’s at the door
while the telephone rings on the kitchen wall,
pretend we’re not at home and they’ll disappear.
I want to be with you,
tell me what I can do, nothing is too small
away from all this jazz we could do anything at all.
Distractions, like butterflies are…
Inter:[Am Bm7 Em Am Bm7 Em E7/9 Am Bm7 Em Am Gm]
I’ll find a peaceful place
far away from the noise of a busy day,
where we can spend our nights counting shooting stars.
Distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
when I’m alone I think of you,
and the things we’d do if we could only be through
with these distractions, like butterflies are buzzing ‘round my head,
when I’m alone I think of you,
And the life we’d lead if we could only be free
form these distractions.
