Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
A Aadd11
When the telephone was a tin can on a string
Dmaj9 E
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
A Aadd11
You said you weren't afraid to die
A Aadd11

A Aadd11
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
A
Were you made ashamed,
Aadd11
why'd you lock them in the drawer?
Dmaj9 E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
A
Than when you turned away
Aadd11
When you slammed the door
Dmaj9 Bm11
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico
A Aadd11
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
Dmaj9 Bm11
I was young enough, I still believed in war

E Dmaj9
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
E Dmaj9
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
A Aadd11
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue
Dmaj9 Bm11
And there's a muddy field where a garden was
A
And I'm glad you got away
Aadd11
But I'm still stuck out here
Dmaj9 Bm11
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears
A Aadd11
A Asus2
A Aadd11
E Dmaj9
And I never thought this life was possible
E Dmaj9
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
A Aadd11
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
Dmaj9 Bm11
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
A Aadd11
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
Dmaj9 Bm11
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
A Aadd11 Dmaj9
A Aadd11 Dmaj9
A Aadd11
A Aadd11 A
