Am Am
and you're down
F F
for the count
Am Am
you are dancing with men
F F
going round and around
Am Am
and you're scared
F F
and you're sure
Am Am
that your spine will dissolve
F F
you will fall to the floor
Am Am
you will take
F F
what you need
Am Am
and the headaches will come
F F
but at least you can breathe
Am Am
as the smoke
F F
fills your lungs
Am Am
we will wait for the day
F F
we'll rejoice when it comes


C C
on your birthday
G G
you woke up
Am Am F F
the snow was on the ground
C C G G
you opened books and peeked inside
Am Am F F
they kissed you on your crown
C C G G
with pins in your fingers
Am Am F F
you held yourself up high
C C G G
the picture peeled the person
Am Am F F
they let themselves divide


Am Am
you arrive
F F
at the place
Am Am
it is not what you want
F F
but it is what you chase
Am Am
so you don't
F F
have to hold
Am Am
all of the candles
F F
that burn on their own
Am Am
you will steal
F F
all the smells
Am Am F F
that cut through your nose and inside on your cells
Am Am
when it's time
F F
to escape
Am Am F F
you realize you've waited until it's too late


C C
but your birthday
G G
inflated
Am Am F F
the bones with which you creak
C C F F
they stole your shoes and brought you to
Am Am F F
the caverns of their teeth
C C
you pleaded
G G
oh kind sir
Am Am F F
please let me say goodbye
C C G G
your soul ripped from your stomach
Am Am F F
you gave an awful cry
F F
a cry
F F
a cry
F F
a cry

C C G G F F
and when I have died
C C G G F F
will you use my spine
C C G G F F
to swing from tree to tree in search of
C C G G F F
places pleasing to the eye?


C C G G F F
and when I have died
C C G G F F
will you use my spine
C C G G F F
to swing from tree to tree in search of
C C G G F F
places pleasing to the eye?


C C G G F F
and when I have died
C C G G F F
will you use my spine
C C G G F F
to swing from tree to tree in search of
C C G G F F
places pleasing to the eye?


C C G G F F
C C G G F F
C C G G F F F F


C C G G
I said
Am Am F F
I'm sorry dear
C C G G
I said
Am Am F F
I'm sorry dear
C C G G Am Am F F
but you don't listen
C C G G
no you don't listen
Am Am F F [let ring]
you silly little girl
