Verse 1
A
D
Poison Oak, some boyhood bravery
A
D
When a telephone was a tin can on a string
E
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me
A
D
You said you weren't afraid to die
A
D
Verse 2
A
In Polaroids you were dressed
D
in women's clothes
A
Were you made ashamed,
D
why'd you lock them in the drawer?
E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more
Chorus 1
A
Than when you turned away
D
When you slammed the door
When you stole the car
E
drove towards Mexico
A
And you wrote bad checks
D
just to fill your arm
I was young enough,
E
I still believed in war

Verse 3
E
D
Well let the poets cry themselves to sleep
E
And all their tearful words
D
would turn back into steam
Chorus 2
A
But me I'm a single cell
D
on a serpents tongue
There's a muddy field
E
where a garden was
A
And I'm glad you got away
D
But I'm still stuck out here
My clothes are soaking wet
E
from your brothers tears
Interlude 2

Verse 4
E
And I never thought
D
this life was possible
E
You're the yellow bird
D
that I've been waiting for
Chorus 3
A
D
The end of paralysis I was a statuette
E
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench
A
D
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed
E
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
