Canaries Kind of Like Spitting
Track: Canaries
Album: Bridges worth burning
Tabber: Andrew Biles
Standard tuning
[G]Make what you can out of [Am]nothing
Keep bluffing your[D/F#] way to extinction
You're a [C]sick fuck to [D]think
That this, [Em]unlike anything else, will [C]last f[D]orever
[G]Building rock anthems a [Am]jigsaw exterior
[D/F#]You see what you miss
But you [C]can't stand to be [D]near her
It's [Em]bigger than that you realize
But short-sighted [C]impulses [D]own what's left of your dignity
[G]Tell yourself quietly [Am]don't plow the field yet
You're [D/F#]waiting to grow some [C]new life from [D]retrospect
[Em]You know free agency pays little in the long [C]run
But you [D]just don't feel like your legs are that tired yet
[Em]Friends and go-[Am]betweens
Sing like [D]canaries crushed in leaves
This is the [Am]thanks you get[C]
[Em]Somewhere that's [Am]sweet
Maybe [D]someday we will meet
And I can [Am]thank you [C]with[D]out [G]strings
All these befores that get [Am]drilled on long after
[D/F#]It's all just leverage when you're [C]sure that it's [D]over
[Em]The street goes blurry like a movie that you [C]saw once
[D]Minutes freeze but you can't collect the corners still
[G]She used to whisper you [Am]name like a refrain
[D/F#]And when she held you, you [C]know, you felt [D]safer
But your [Em]demons are fucking huge
You stack your deck to [C]lose
You s[D]ay there's nothing you can do
Well we all know that you're lying
[Em]Friends and go-[Am]betweens
Sing like [D]canaries crushed in Spring
This is the [Am]thanks you get[C]
[Em]You get what you put [Am]in
I guess that's bull[D]shit in the end
Written under f[Am]luorescent lights
That [C]replace the [D]sun at [G]night
