Intro: F#  B  F#  C#  F#  B  C#

F#                               B
When you mend the patches of my clothin'
F#                                     C#
You know every thread goes through my heart
F#                               B
Guessin' that the river's gonna dry up
F#                           C#             F#
Well, I said that's not the reason why we bard

F#                                 B
Lookin' 'round the corner where I left you
F#                      C#
Wonderin' whatever led me there
F#                                 B       F#                          C#
Knowin' that a quiet, unconscious feeling could be bought to drown a memory
F#
anywhere

G#m                                          B                              F#
She said,  I don't want your medicine and I don't need the sparrow in my heart
G#m                                    B                                 C#
When I'm covered by the thunder I get rid of all your breath deep in my lungs
                    F#
Splayed in the wind apart

(Intro)

F#                                 B
And when I touch the ceiling on a spring day
F#                              C#
Wishin' it could heed up every crow
F#                                B
So that they could lift me by my shoulders
F#                        C#                F#
Take me from this frozen lake and let you know

G#m                                     B                              F#
Just that I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
G#m                                       B
When I'm covered by the thunder I'll get rid of all the breath deep in our
C#
lungs
                 F#
Splayed the wind apart

F#                                                 B
Hell I'm still standing 'round the corner where I left you
F#                             C#
Diggin' up a quite sufficient track
F#                                  B     F#                   C#
Never know when you're behind that angle with a tranquilizer gun in your
      F#
sweet hand

G#m                                  B                              F#
Oh I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
G#m                                B
When we're covered by the thunder we'd become just one and feel the lightning
C#
shard
                 F#
Splayed the wind apart
