Verse 2
In (A major) Polaroids you were dressed
in women's (Dsus2) clothes
Were you (A major) made ashamed,
why'd you lock them in the drawer? (Dsus2)
Well (D/F#) I don't think that I ever loved you more (E major)
Chorus 1
Than when you (A major) turned away
When you (Dsus2) slammed the door
When you (D/F#) stole the car
drove towards (E7sus4) Mexico
And you wrote (A major) bad checks
just to (Dsus2) fill your arm
I was young (D/F#) enough,
I still be (E7sus4) lieved in war
Interlude 1
(A major) (D/F#) (A major) (D/F#)
Verse 3
Well (E major) let the poets cry themselves to sleep (D/F#)
And all their (E major) tearful words
would turn back into steam (D/F#)
Chorus 2
But me I'm a (A major) single cell
on a (Dsus2) serpents tongue
There's a muddy (D/F#) field
where a garden (E7sus4) was
And I'm glad you got (A major) away
But I'm still stuck (Dsus2) out here
My clothes are (D/F#) soaking wet
from your brothers (E7sus4) tears
Interlude 2
(A major) (D/F#) (A major) (D/F#)
Verse 4
And I (E major) never thought
this life was possible (D/F#)
You're the (E major) yellow bird
that I've been waiting for (D/F#)
Chorus 3
The end of paral (A major) ysis I was a (Dsus2) statuette
Now I'm drunk (D/F#) as hell on a piano (E7sus4) bench
And when I (A major) press the keys it all gets (Dsus2) reversed
The sound of (D/F#) loneliness makes me happier (E7sus4)
Outro 1
(A major) (D/F#) (A major) (D/F#)
