Verse:

A augmentedA               Dsus2Dsus2
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
    A augmentedA                Dsus2Dsus2
When the telephone was a tin can on a string
   F# minorF#m                      E MajorE
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
            A augmentedA       Dsus2Dsus2
You said you weren't afraid to die

A augmentedA    Dsus2Dsus2


  A augmentedA                    Dsus2Dsus2
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
    A augmentedA                      Dsus2Dsus2
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the drawer?
  F# minorF#m                  E MajorE
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more


Chorus:

        A augmentedA
Than when you turned away
      Dsus2Dsus2
When you slammed the door
     F# minorF#m             E MajorE
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico
     A augmentedA            Dsus2Dsus2
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
    F# minorF#m           E MajorE
I was young enough, I still believed in war


A augmentedA    Dsus2Dsus2

A augmentedA    Dsus2Dsus2


Verse 2:

E MajorE                  F# minorF#m
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
E MajorE                         F# minorF#m
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam
        A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue
        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
And there's a muddy field where a garden was
         A augmentedA
And I'm glad you got away
        Dsus2Dsus2
But I'm still stuck out here
        F# minorF#m          E MajorE
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears

A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2

A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2


Bridge:

E MajorE                    F# minorF#m
And I never thought this life was possible
E MajorE                        F# minorF#m
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for
       A augmentedA        Dsus2Dsus2
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
     F# minorF#m         E MajorE
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
      A augmentedA           Dsus2Dsus2
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
       F# minorF#m        E MajorE
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
