Tempo 1

A  Dsus3   A  Dsus3
 A                              Dsus3 
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
        A                                 Dsus3 
When a telephone was a tin can on a string
      F#                                    E*   
and I fell asleep with you still talking to me
A                    Dsus3          A* A* Dsus3 
You said you weren't afraid to die
  A          Dsus3
   A                                        Dsus3
In polaroids you were dressed in womans clothes
          A                     
Were you made ashamed?
                              Dsus3
Why'd you lock them in a drawer?
    F#                                   E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more than when

Tempo 2   
             
you turned away
        Dsus3
When you slammed the door
                  Fm7
When you stole the car
       Em7     
Drove towards mexico
              A
and you wrote bad checks
               Dsus3
just to fill your arm
                 Fm7
I was young enough 
                Em7                      
I still believed in war

A  Dsus3   A  Dsus3
       E*                              F#
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
    E*                                           F#
And all their tearful words will turn back into steam
              
But me

Tempo 2

F#                         Dsus3
I'm a single cell on the serpents tongue
           
          Fm7                         Em7
Theres a muddy field where the garden was
             
          A   
Well I’m glad you got away
                Dsus3
but I’m still stuck out here
               Fm7
My clothes are soaking wet 
           Em7   
from your brothers tears

A  Dsus3  A  Dsus3
          E                            F#
and I never thought this life was possible
                E
Your the yellow bird
                       F#
that I've been waiting for
                  A
The end of paralysis
                  D
I was a statuette
                  Fm7
Now I'm drunk as hell
               Em7
on a piano bench
          A
and when I press the keys
                  D
its all gets reversed
             Fm7
The sound of loneliness
             Em7
makes me happier
