🎸 Verse 1:
          Em
Cages and cases
   C                  Em
Of starving birds and dead things
   C           Em       C
No longer look anything like they did
                Em
When they'd been living

Am                     Em           C       Em
   The things you love you put into cement
Am                  Em                C          Em
   In order to keep them they have to be dead
Am                    Em                   C            Em
   You think that he's yours but it's only in your head
Am                  Em               C                D   Em
   His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not your bed

Lockets and caskets

Full of garbage and ashes

Nothing but collections of nothing
            Em
You've been protecting

Am                     Em           C       Em

   His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not your bed

Taking baths in concrete
Em                            C
Harbor a love for things that don't exist
Em                   C
Try to set them into stone

But you can't, he's made of bones and flesh
