Em      Am           Em   Am
Goddamn it's so very hot
Em          Am                   Em    Am
Supposed to come a rain but it's not

   D
Oh yeah,
              Am        C
Here come the painbirds
   D
Oh yeah,
              Am        C
Here come the painbirds

Em     Am                 Em    Am
Spiral down those hateful dears
Em          Am                Em      Am
Between our skins and burning spheres

   D
Oh yeah,
              Am        C
Here come the painbirds
   D
Oh yeah,
              Am        C
Here come the painbirds
