Chords with lyrics
and you're down
FF
for the count
A minorAm
you are dancing with men
FF
going round and around
A minorAm
and you're scared
FF
and you're sure
A minorAm
that your spine will dissolve
FF
you will fall to the floor
A minorAm
you will take
FF
what you need
A minorAm
and the headaches will come
FF
but at least you can breathe
A minorAm
as the smoke
FF
fills your lungs
A minorAm
we will wait for the day
FF
we'll rejoice when it comes
C majorC
on your birthday
G+G
you woke up
FF
the snow was on the ground
G+G
you opened books and peeked inside
FF
they kissed you on your crown
G+G
with pins in your fingers
FF
you held yourself up high
G+G
the picture peeled the person
FF
they let themselves divide
A minorAm
you arrive
FF
at the place
A minorAm
it is not what you want
FF
but it is what you chase
A minorAm
so you don't
FF
have to hold
A minorAm
all of the candles
FF
that burn on their own
A minorAm
you will steal
FF
all the smells
FF
that cut through your nose and inside on your cells
A minorAm
when it's time
FF
to escape
FF
you realize you've waited until it's too late
C majorC
but your birthday
G+G
inflated
FF
the bones with which you creak
FF
they stole your shoes and brought you to
FF
the caverns of their teeth
C majorC
you pleaded
G+G
oh kind sir
FF
please let me say goodbye
G+G
your soul ripped from your stomach
FF
you gave an awful cry
FF
a cry
FF
a cry
FF
a cry
FF
and when I have died
FF
will you use my spine
FF
to swing from tree to tree in search of
FF
places pleasing to the eye?
FF
and when I have died
FF
will you use my spine
FF
to swing from tree to tree in search of
FF
places pleasing to the eye?
FF
and when I have died
FF
will you use my spine
FF
to swing from tree to tree in search of
FF
places pleasing to the eye?
FF
FF
FF
G+G
I said
FF
I'm sorry dear
G+G
I said
FF
I'm sorry dear
FF
but you don't listen
G+G
no you don't listen
FF
