[A]Poison oak, some boyhood brave[Dsus2]ry
When th[A]e telephone was a tin can on a st[Dsus2]ring
And I[F#m] fell asleep with you still talking to me[E]
You said you weren't af[A]raid to die[Dsus2]
[A] [Dsus2]
In p[A]olaroids you were dressed in women's clo[Dsus2]thes
Were you[A] made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the dr[Dsus2]awer?
Wel[F#m]l I don't think that I ever loved you m[E]ore
Than when you tu[A]rned away
When you sla[Dsus2]mmed the door
When you s[A]tole a car drove, towards M[Dsus2]exico
And you wr[A]ote bad checks just to f[Dsus2]ill your arm
I was y[F#m]oung enough, I still bel[E]ieved in war
[A] [Dsus2]
[A] [Dsus2]
[E]But let the poets cry themselves to s[F#m]leep
[E]And all their tearful words would turn back into s[F#m]team
But me, I'm a s[A]ingle cell on a s[Dsus2]erpent's tongue
And there's a m[A]uddy field where a g[Dsus2]arden was
And I'm glad you [A]got away
But I'm still st[Dsus2]uck out here
My clothes are s[F#m]oaking wet from your br[E]other's tears
[A] [Dsus2]
[A] [Dsus2]
[E]And I never thought this life was possib[F#m]le
[E]You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting fo[F#m]r
The end of par[A]alysis I was a st[Dsus]atuet[2]te
Now I'm dr[A]unk as hell on a pi[Dsus2]ano bench
And when I p[A]ress the keys it all g[Dsus2]ets reversed
The sound of l[F#m]oneliness makes me [E]happier
[A] [Dsus2]
