[Verse]

A A Dsus2 Dsus2
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
When the telephone was a tin can on a string
F#m F#m E E
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
You said you weren't afraid to die

A A Dsus2 Dsus2

A A Dsus2 Dsus2
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the drawer?
F#m F#m E E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more


[Chorus]

A A
Than when you turned away
Dsus2 Dsus2
When you slammed the door
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
F#m F#m E E
I was young enough, I still believed in war


A A Dsus2 Dsus2
A A Dsus2 Dsus2


[Verse 2]

E E F#m F#m
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
E E F#m F#m
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam

A A Dsus2 Dsus2
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
And there's a muddy field where a garden was
A A
And I'm glad you got away
Dsus2 Dsus2
But I'm still stuck out here
F#m F#m E E
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears


A A Dsus2 Dsus2
A A Dsus2 Dsus2


[Bridge]

E E F#m F#m
And I never thought this life was possible
E E F#m F#m
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for

A A Dsus Dsus 2
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
F#m F#m E E
The sound of loneliness makes me happier

A A Dsus2 Dsus2
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
A A Dsus2 Dsus2
