Verse

| Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G |I was a quick wet boy Diving too deep for coins | Ab | Bb |All of your street light eyes Wide on my plastic toys | Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G |And when the cops closed the fair I cut my long baby hair | Ab | Bb |Stole me a dog-eared map And called for you everywhere

Verse

| Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G |Now I’m a fat house cat Nursing my sore blunt tongue | Ab | Bb |Watching the warm poison rats Curl through the wide fence cracks | Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G |Pissing on magazine Photos, those fishing lures | Ab | Bb |Thrown in the cold and clean Blood of Christ mountain stream

Hook

| Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G | Ab | Bb |Have I found you? Flightless bird, grounded, bleeding | Eb Bb/D | Cm Eb/G | Ab | Bb |Or lost you? American mouth Big pill, stuck going down
