He slept in my bed after I filled his body
With insects and panic and grandfather sewn seeds
C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
I was useless inside him; trade organs for oceans
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
Is there a vaccine for this?
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
To clean out all the unborn kids?
A minorAm E minorEm (x4)
Ohhhhhhh
He broke me good where the landlord left scars
Emptied all the bedrooms to reclaim the stretch marks
C majorC E minorEm
We were to our throats in grass
C majorC E minorEm
We tore down the treehouses
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
And our brothers were kindling
C majorC E minorEm A minorAm E minorEm
for the love songs that we couldn't sing
A minorAm E minorEm (x4)
Ohhhhhh

'Cause we drowned all our songs in the bathtub
You could hear them way up in the rafters
And the preachers sleeping in the attic
Stole them all for scriptures
C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
We sing nothing now, our mothers ask us how
C majorC E minorEm C majorC E minorEm
We pray with lights out for songs to fill our mouths
A minorAm E minorEm (x4)
Ohhhhhh
Finish on A minorAm
