[A] Poison oak, some boyhood [D] bravery When [A] a telephone was a tin can on [D] a string
And I fell asleep with you still talking [E] to me
You [G#m] said you [A] weren't afraid to die [Dm]
[A] [D]
[A] in Polaroids
You were dressed in [D] women's clothes [A] Were you made ashamed while you locked them
[D] in a drawer?
[F#] Well, I [D] don't think that I ever loved [E] you more
Then [A] when you turned away, when [D] you swam the door
When you stole the car and [Bm] drove towards Mexico
[A] And you wrote bad checks just [D] to fill your arm
I was young enough, I still [Bm] believed in war
[A]
[D]
[A] [D]
[E] Well, let the poets cry [F#] themselves to sleep
[F#m] [D] And all [E] their tearful words would turn back into [D] steam
But me, [A] I'm a single cell [D] on a serpent's tongue
There's a muddy field where a [Bm] garden was
And I'm [A] glad you got away, but I'm still stuck [D] out here
My clothes are soaking wet from [Bm] your brother's [A] tears
And [D]
[A]
[D]
[E] I never thought this life was possible
[F#] [D] You're [E]
the yellow bird [F#m] that I've been waiting for
[D] The end [A] of paralysis, I was a [D] statuette
Now I'm [F#m] drunk as hell on [Bm] a piano bench
And when I [A] press the keys, it [D] all gets reversed
The sound of loneliness makes [Bm] me happier
