Distractions Chords by Paul Mccartney

Gm                     Am7
 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.
