Em
Buried in teeth
Em
Buried in teeth
Em
Buried in teeth
      C                G              D
Can't tell if I've got black roots or braids
        Em
Growing out of my head 
C             G          D
Grandfather's eating our grains

Em
Buried in teeth
Em
Buried in teeth
Em
Buried in teeth

       C                G         D
Can't tell if I've got rivers or veins
        Em
Running under my skin
C           G        D
Flowing out over the plains
        Em
There's trapped antennae
    C       G             D        
All tangled up with these brains
        Em              C        G     D
And the spin of cocoons whispers your names

          Em                 D        Em
While the crash of molars it sifts us downward
Em            Am      D       Em
Down past the roll of ancient thunder
Em            Am       D        Em
Down past the delicate bones of birds wings
Em         Am             D         Em
Those that never took the flight of morning
Em            Am     D         Em      
Down past the fossil ferns and antlers
  Em      Am               D                  Em         
A pack of ghost wolves are going to bring you under
Em                      D           Em
Down past the stomach's filled with berries
Em        Am            D      Em
Swallowed down into the gut of centuries

C           G    Am
Where we'll petrify
C                            G
Strong willed, feeble, amber eyed
C           G    Am
There we'll petrify
C                           G
Strong lunged, weary, amber eyed
C                           G
Strong winged, teary, amber eyed
      Em
Amber eyed

Em
Buried in arms
Em
Buried in arms
Em
Buried in arms
      C                 G         D
Can't tell if it's your elbows or twine
    Em
All wrapped 'round my waist
  C       G    D
A tangled mess divine

Em
Buried in arms
Em
Buried in arms
Em
Buried in arms
      C          G             D
Can't tell whose triggers are whose
    Em
So we'll pull every one
C      G           D
Firing diamonds at boots

    Em                 D        Em
The crash of molars it sifts us downward
Em            Am      D       Em
Down past the roll of ancient thunder
Em            Am       D        Em
Down past the delicate bones of bird's wings
Em         Am             D         Em
Those that never took the flight of morning
Em            Am     D         Em
Down past the fossil ferns and antlers
  Em      Am               D                  Em
A pack of ghost wolves are going to bring you under
Em                     D           Em   
Down past the stomachs filled with berries
Em        Am            D      Em
Swallowed down into the gut of centuries

C           G    Am
Where we'll petrify
C                            G
Strong willed, feeble, amber eyed
C           G    Am
There we'll petrify
C                           G
Strong lunged, weary, amber eyed
C                           G
Strong winged, teary, amber eyed
      Em
Amber eyed

      C                 G             D
Can't tell if those are black holes I spy
        Em
Staring down at us
C           G                 D
Sucking starlight through our eyes
