_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ And all I had hoped [Ab] for I [Fm] kept inside your car
The rabbit in [Ab] the bar _ _ _ _
_ [Ebm] _ _ _ Most of [Ab] all I wait
I [Fm] wait beside the door I wait beside [Ab] the door _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bbm] _ And all [Ab] I was wrong Trembling [F] in the [Fm] cage
I was diamonds [Ab] in the cage [Bb] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ In [Cm] seven [Ab] hours I considered [F] death
[Fm]
And your father [Ab] called to yell at me [Bbm] You little boy, you [Ebm] little boy
_ _ _ [Ab] You little boy, _ you [Fm] little boy _ You [Ab] little boy, _ _ [Bb] _ _ [Ebm] _
_ _ _ [Ab] you little boy _
_ [Fm] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Gb] _
_ _ [Bbm] _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _
I found [Ab] out you cheated me I ran behind the [Fm] bar
And cut my [Ab] hand somehow _
_ _ [Ebm] _ _ Blood in [Ab] the metal arc
I punched your [Fm] ears instead I punched you [Ab] in the head
You only laughed and [Ebm] laughed and laughed [Eb] How I [Ab] was wrong
Tingling [F] from the kill [Fm] Kickle me until
[Ab] You [Bbm] devil bird, you [Ebm] evil still _ Slept on [Ab] my arms
Sleeping in the [Fm] sill I was sleeping in [Ab] the room with you
[Bb] You little boy, you [Ebm] little boy _ Oh, could you [Fm] run from me now?
[Ab] The loneliest child [Bbm] in the house [Db] The loneliest [Ab] child in the house
You let it out, you [Ebm] let it out Come to me, Calvary, [Eb] still
I'm bleeding and [Fm] raking until I'm bleeding in spite [Bb] of my love for [Fm] you
It bruised [Bbm] and bruised my [Ebm]
will Counting [Ab] alluvial plates
The breathing inside [Bbm] of the rage You touched me inside [Ab] of my cage
Beneath my shirt your [Ebm] hands embraced me Come to me, feathered and [Ab] frayed
For I'm the ugliest [Bbm] prey For I'm the [Gb] ugliest prey
The [Bbm] all-wreckless, reckless [Ebm] prey

[Ab] _ _ _ [Gb] _ _ You said you'd [Db] wait for me Down by the [Ebm] tannery creek
Far out by the [Ab] clothesline Where we used to kiss
[Gb] Behind the sheets Wrapped in a blanket [Db] of red
The owl and the [Ebm] tannager said The owl and the tannager [Ab] said
One waits until the hour [Ebm] is dead
