[Capo on 3]
Chords
	 
[Verse]
C
I was a quick wet boy
Am
Diving too deep for coins
F
All of your street light eyes
G
Wide on my plastic toys
C
And when the cops closed the fair
Am
I cut my long baby hair
F
Stole me a dog-eared map
G
And called for you everywhere
[Chorus]
C
Have I found you?
Am F G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping
C
Or lost you?
Am
American mouth
F G
Big pill looming
[Verse]
C
Now I’m a fat house cat
Am
Nursing my sore blunt tongue
F
Watching the warm poison rats
G
Curl through the wide fence cracks
C
Pissing on magazine
Am
Photos, those fishing lures
F
Thrown in the cold and clean
G
Blood of Christ mountain stream
[Chorus]
C
Have I found you?
Am F G
Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding
C
Or lost you?
Am
American mouth
F G C
Big pill, stuck going down
[Outro]
