A Dsus2

[Verse]
A Dsus2
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
A Dsus2
When the telephone was a tin can on a string
F#m E
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
A Dsus2
You said you weren't afraid to die
[Instrumental]
A Dsus2
[Verse]
A Dsus2
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
A Dsus2
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the drawer?
F#m E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
[Chorus]
A
Than when you turned away
Dsus2
When you slammed the door
F#m E
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico
A Dsus2
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
F#m E
I was young enough, I still believed in war
[Instrumental]

A Dsus2

[Verse]
E F#m
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
E F#m
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
A Dsus2
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue
F#m E
And there's a muddy field where a garden was
A
And I'm glad you got away
Dsus2
But I'm still stuck out here
F#m E
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
[Instrumental]
A Dsus2

A Dsus2

[Bridge]
E F#m
And I never thought this life was possible
E F#m
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
A Dsus2
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
F#m E
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
A Dsus2
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
F#m E
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
[Outro]
