[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


[G  O] Bm  Bm7/A  Gmaj7  F#m Bm  F#m  A6  A  Bb  C
             
             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  
 Maybe she’ll fly on home
                 D    Dmaj7  D7
 Even though the bird has flown
             C   G/B  Bb6(b5) Bb6 
 Maybe she’ll fly on home
