Standard Tuning

Capo 1


C majorC E MajorE G+G D MajorD

     C majorC           E MajorE
there's a bulk of birds in your bonfire head
    G+G         D MajorD
and you sleep with one eye open
    C majorC        E MajorE
and you slice away your arms like bread
  G+G        D MajorD
to butter with your semen
     C majorC                 E MajorE
and your hair is knots of nooses you could strangle strange and lonely
G+G
carpenter, sleep gardens red
  D MajorD         C majorC E MajorE G+G D MajorD
and re-arrange your body

   C majorC        E MajorE
because in the dark, we all sound the same
  G+G             D MajorD
our bodies are blistered from needing
 C majorC          E MajorE
i made you a bed from pieces of my legs
  G+G           D MajorD
and you sorely sat there, bleeding

C majorC                E MajorE
animal sister boy, could i have kept you
G+G             D MajorD
is there a way of wood to protect you
C majorC
sent from houses, stripped and cold
E MajorE           G+G
i carried on my back: piano planks and forestry
  D MajorD
for shelter in your chest
C majorC              E MajorE
you are sores and red flesh, let's sleep again
G+G                D MajorD          C majorC E MajorE G+G D MajorD
sin our way through secrets and cause all the violence


     C majorC     B minorBm
and let's leave our bodies
   C majorC      B minorBm
let's leave our bodies
     C majorC        B minorBm
pull our "skin" from these "bones,"
     C majorC         B minorBm
and this "house" from these "homes"

C majorC B minorBm
