Intro:

E MajorE BB A augmentedA F#F#
E MajorE BB A augmentedA F#F#

Verse 1:
E MajorE             A augmentedA
I woke up bleeding in the crotch of a tree
E MajorE         A augmentedA
TV blaring on the wall above the coffee machine
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Car wash waiting room outside Pasadena
A augmentedA          BB
I'm sitting waiting for my deus ex machina
    E MajorE            A augmentedA
And I'm forever changed by this chemical burn
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Skin on my fingers peeling, making way for my new form
E MajorE               A augmentedA
I grip the steering wheel and picture my angel
A augmentedA             BB
Climbing out the hospital window

Leaving tubes in a tangle

E MajorE BB A augmentedA F#F#
E MajorE BB A augmentedA F#F#

Verse 2:
E MajorE                A augmentedA
Blood on my angel's lips blends in with his makeup
E MajorE            A augmentedA
He's off the premises before his brain's had time to wake up
E MajorE            A augmentedA
Peeling off bandages to unfold his wings
E MajorE                A augmentedA
The doctors said they'd have to stay on for another three weeks
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Fuck it baby, let 'em bruise, let 'em break
  A augmentedA       BB
But bleed, let 'em bleed

Drum Break:
N.C.

Verse 3:
  E MajorE         BB   A augmentedA      F#F#
And I'm doing ninety, gotta get there and hold him
E MajorE         BB     A augmentedA        F#F#
If we can make it across the state line then baby, we're golden
E MajorE      BB       A augmentedA   F#F#
Let the law pronounce its petty assertions
A augmentedA              BB
They've been outsmarted by a couple of urchins
     F# minorF#m
And they hurt you bad, man
G# minorG#m
They hurt me too
A augmentedA                 BB
But I'm not about to sit here and watch as they

Chorus:
            E MajorE   BB
Suck the blood from my wound
A augmentedA       F#F#      E MajorE   BB
They suck the blood from my wound
A augmentedA    F#F#      E MajorE
Suck the blood from my wound
A augmentedA    F#F#      E MajorE   BB
Suck the blood from my wound


Post-Chorus:
E MajorE
Ohh man


Verse 4:
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Wrap half the money in your hospital garment
E MajorE                A augmentedA
We'll stash the rest inside the red Camaro's secret compartment
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Even the deepest wounds will heal over time
E MajorE            A augmentedA
I'll run my fingers over your scars and yours over mine
E MajorE              A augmentedA
They'll never find us if we turn off our phones
E MajorE                 A augmentedA
We're off the grid, we're off our meds we're finally out on our own
E MajorE           A augmentedA
Now I see color coming back in your cheeks
A augmentedA             BB              E MajorE   BB A augmentedA
Angel, don't fight it, to them you know we'll always be freaks
       F#F#    E MajorE   BB A augmentedA
To them we'll always be freaks
   F#F#
We'll always

Verse 5:
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Park for the night northwest of Baton Rouge
E MajorE               A augmentedA
Across the parking lot you're stretching the one wing you can move
E MajorE             A augmentedA
I let you walk as long as fear will allow
A augmentedA             BB
I've never loved you more than I love you now
        E MajorE              A augmentedA
And then we're back on the road before the sun's even up
E MajorE                A augmentedA
We're making time, we're making progress but progress towards what?
E MajorE              A augmentedA
Your fallen feathers fill up two shopping bags
A augmentedA              BB
The future's breathing down the neck of the past
    F# minorF#m           G# minorG#m
And the sun throws a shit-eating shine on the moon
    A augmentedA               BB
And I'm not about to wait for them to come


Chorus:
            E MajorE
Suck the blood from my wound
N.C.
Suck the blood from my wound
N.C.          E MajorE   BB
Suck the blood from my wound

Suck the blood from my wound
