A5 - X02200

After "i still believed in war" part you play an (A) chord and pull off, 
hammer on and pull off on the B string 2nd fret (Asus2--X02200)
then play (A) before switching to the (Dmaj9) chord.

A5                                                  Aadd11
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
         A5                                                           Aadd11
When the telephone was a tin can on a string 
        D5                                                   E5
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
                             A5                  Aadd11
You said you weren't afraid to die


A5       Aadd11


    A5                                                                  Aadd11
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes
     A5                                                                 
Were you made ashamed, 
                              Aadd11
why'd you lock them in the drawer? 
       D5                               E5
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
             A5 
Than when you turned away
          Aadd11
When you slammed the door
              D5                                     Bm11
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico 
       A5                                                       Aadd11
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm
        D5                            Bm11    
I was young enough, I still believed in war

But let the poets cry themselves to sleep
             E5                                                    D5
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam


           A5                             Aadd11
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue
                       D5                           Bm11
And there's a muddy field where a garden was
                               A5
And I'm glad you got away 
                                   Aadd11
But I'm still stuck out here
                D5                 Bm11
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears

      E5                                                                 D5
And I never thought this life was possible
        E5                                                            D5 
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for


          A5                              Aadd11
The end of paralysis I was a statuette 
                D5                               Bm11
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
         A5                                                 Aadd11
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
                     D5                             Bm11
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
