            So- fuck!
Em7/B  DM7  N.C.

Verse 1:
 Em7/B                    A7
So unsure, before it's even heard
       DM7                  Bm7
Never confident in a single word
 Em7/B                 A7
This bird, expert in the absurd
        DM7                         Bm7
Number one in life that has been deferred
 Em7/B                 A7
It hurts this relentless introvert
          DM7                                      Bm7
But inversion only serves to put deserving on the mind
 Em7/B                A7
So I keep my time, so far out of line
              DM7                      Bm7
And when the day turns night, I can't help but

Pre-chorus:
Em7/B                  DM7
Cry so loudly, I slant devoutly
 G                         Bm
Tell me what about me is built so wrong?
 Em7/B
There's so much passion
              DM7
But more I'm lacking
 Em7/B  DM7  N.C.
I wish that I could c-c-c-c-c-c-c-caw-

Chorus:
 Em7/B                 A7
But I falter on the forethought I keep on running
        DM7                        G
like a chicken with its head cut off
 Em7/B             A7
Achromatic twisted aeronaut, A birdbrain,
         DM7                             G
baby, I don't know when I'm supposed to stop
 Em7/B                       A7
Hit me with the flap down, crash into the soft ground (Foul!)
         DM7                            G
Ain't no fellow feathers falling for a freak (So weak!)
 Em7/B                    A7
So put my neck up on the chopping block A birdbrain,
       DM7                            G  N.C.
baby, I don't think my head is coming off
 Em7/B                             G N.C.
Baby, I don't know when I'm supposed to stop
 Em7/B                             G N.C.
Baby, I don't know when I'm supposed to stop!

Verse 2:
      N.C.
So- shit-
 Em7/B                     A7
So unsure, before it's even heard
         DM7                     Bm
I can't toe the border with my eyes so blurred
 Em7/B                  A7
This bird, constantly overturned
         DM7                         Bm
Ten-time unwitting champion of being spurned
 Em7/B                A7
(So when you go, I won't cry)
             DM7                               Bm
'Cause even though it hurts, it's the thousandth time
 Em7/B               A7                    DM7    Bm
Don't stay, 'cause I don't even know what I’d Do anyway

Pre-chorus:
Em7/B                  DM7
I'm so damn selfish, I can't live like this
 G                   Bm
So be my witness, I won't back down
Em7/B               DM7
I'll play the hero, divide the zero
 Em7/B  DM7  N.C.
So I wanna hear you s-say… something?

Chorus:
 Em7/B                A7
And I falter as an afterthought
             DM7                           G
I keep on running like a chicken with its head cut off
Em7/B                A7
Apathetic aching argonaut, A birdbrain,
         DM7                             G
baby, I don't know when I’m supposed to stop
 Em7/B                              A7
Hit me with the flap down, crashing with a loud sound (Foul!)
     DM7                      G
Apoplectic and pathetic as can be (Not me!)
 Em7/B                      A7
I put my neck up on the chopping block A birdbrain,
       DM7                        G  N.C.
baby, I don't think my head is coming off

Baby, I don't know when I'm supposed to stop
              N.C.

Is it all for a show?

In the golden hour you seem to know
 C                Bm
no fear Is it really true?
 Am                  G
That a bird like me could never think like you?
E                B/Eb
Is it all in my head?
         DM7               G         C
Is my ignorance just manufactured dread?

When I've naught but my pride
 Am                G       G   G   G     G  G   G
Can you take a look and Say you like what I've got inside?
