Intro: F#5  B5  F#5  C#5  F#5  B5  C#5

F#5                               B5
When you mend the patches of my clothin'
F#5                                     C#5
You know every thread goes through my heart
F#5                               B5
Guessin' that the river's gonna dry up
F#5                           C#5             F#5
Well, I said that's not the reason why we bard

F#5                                 B5
Lookin' 'round the corner where I left you
F#5                      C#5
Wonderin' whatever led me there
F#5                                 B5       F#5                          C#5
Knowin' that a quiet, unconscious feeling could be bought to drown a memory
F#5
anywhere

G#5                                          B5                              F#5
She said,  I don't want your medicine and I don't need the sparrow in my heart
G#5                                    B5                                 C#5
When I'm covered by the thunder I get rid of all your breath deep in my lungs
                    F#5
Splayed in the wind apart

(Intro)

F#5                                 B5
And when I touch the ceiling on a spring day
F#5                              C#5
Wishin' it could heed up every crow
F#5                                B5
So that they could lift me by my shoulders
F#5                        C#5                F#5
Take me from this frozen lake and let you know

G#5                                     B5                              F#5
Just that I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
G#5                                       B5
When I'm covered by the thunder I'll get rid of all the breath deep in our
C#5
lungs
                 F#5
Splayed the wind apart

F#5                                                 B5
Hell I'm still standing 'round the corner where I left you
F#5                             C#5
Diggin' up a quite sufficient track
F#5                                  B5     F#5                   C#5
Never know when you're behind that angle with a tranquilizer gun in your
      F#5
sweet hand

G#5                                  B5                              F#5
Oh I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
G#5                                B5
When we're covered by the thunder we'd become just one and feel the lightning
C#5
shard
                 F#5
Splayed the wind apart
