chorus 1:
C
  Could have been a rotten apple
        F
Full of holes
                        C
Could have been an open wine bottle
         G
Ready to go
      G
Or it could have been eagle on a pole

Verse 2:
         F
Well the beauty of the seasons

You will never know

Chorus 2:
C
  Never trust a truly wayward
          F
Wandering soul

Never trust a wanted woman

Who can't say no
        G
And you never trust an eagle on a pole

I've seen pictures of my face from

C
  Looked like running, leaving tracks
                F
Through morning snow

Looked like darkness and the light

Going toe to toe

And it looked just like an eagle on a pole

          F
Something moving, something floating

Something falling soft en slow

It was getting super natural

But you never know

C
  Getting ready for the girls
                 F
At the burlesque show
                      C
Getting ready for the night time
              G
Street lights glowing
    G
Get ready for that eagle on a pole

Bridge 2:
E
Look out!
Am
Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about

Evil come and there's nothing left to laugh about
