_ [A] _ _ Poison oak, some boyhood _ _ [D] bravery _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _
When [A] a _ telephone was a tin can _ on [D] a string
_ And _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I fell asleep with you still _ _ talking [E] to me
You _ _ _ _ said you [A] weren't afraid to die _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _
In _ _ _ Polaroids you were dressed in _ [B] women's [D] clothes _ _
_ _ _ _ _
Were you [E] _ made ashamed while you locked them in [D] a drawer? _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _
Well, I don't think that I ever loved [E] you more
_ Than _ _ _ _ _
when you turned away, when you [A] swam the door
When [D] you stole the car and drove [Bm] towards Mexico _
And [A] you wrote bad checks [B] just to [A] fill your arm
[D] I was young enough, I still [Bm] believed in war

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