Devil's Taxidermy Am F C Dm
Verse 1:
Am F
How did it feel
F Am
When you traded your guitar
F C
For a night you can't remember
F Am
When you were living in your car
F
Where is it now?
Am
Is it hanging on some wall?
F C
Like the devil’s taxidermy
F Am
Just wondering’ where you are
Dm Am
Oh no that’s got to be the saddest part of it all
Verse 2:
Am F
Spent so much time
F Am
Pulling things apart
F C
while the calluses on your fingers
F Am
Turned to that callus on heart
F Am
What was it like when you needed that guitar
F C
But all you had was enough scratch
F Am
For that itching in your arm
Dm Am
Oh no that's gotta be the hardest part of it all
Cause it
F C G Am
Held you together like your good ol’ pair of jeans
F Am
And a rip just started slow
F Am
Made it to the seams
Dm
And it just busted out
Am
In a big ol pile of dreams
Verse 3:
Am F
Where are you now
F Am
They say you lost your way
F C
Well it’s time you were reborn
F Am
Held up like a newborn babe
Dm Am
On your way back to damn that boy could play
Cause it
F C G Am
Held you together like your good ol’ pair of jeans
F Am
And a rip just started slow
F Am
Made it to the seams
Dm
And it just busted out
Am
In a big ol pile of dreams
