Paul McCartney - Distractions guitar tab

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.
