Sufjan Stevens - Springfield, or Bobby Got a Shadfly Caught in his Hair: chords

                Em
I don't care to say what
   C              G  D/F#
I failed to recognize
             Em            C             G   D/F#
Every single day from the poker to the prize
                 Em
Running out of Springfield
   C                      G           D/F#
I worked for the Capitol Air in the bags
               Em        C
Found a woman there who said
                   G                   D/F#
She had a mind to make me a messenger man

Am                              G         D
If my father took his life for national plan
I don't care
Am                                      G
I'm not about to stake my grave with a paper and
  D
a bucket of plans
Never ever
Am
I can take the pillowcases off the yellow pillows
G                D
Make a property line from the bed
Am
In the living room, the living room,
the morning papers
G               D
Make the most out of nothing at all

So we took the room with a view of the runaway
I took off my clothes and she took it for a holiday
I was taken for all the things that
I never had before
Running out of Springfield,
she left me with a note saying:
"Bobby, don't look back"

And if my wife took a bicycle ride
With a knife in her hand
I saw it coming
All the shadflies run at once
With a trumpet or a train
Oh, I'm running from it
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Give a minute, lady
I can explain the aftershave
Wait a minute, wait a minute
Give a minute
Bobby got a shadfly
Caught in his hair

(Yes, he does)
