Verse
G#
He cries out her eyes,
A# D#
A# fire unfurnaced.
A# G#
The curve of her spine
A# D#
Is heaven unbound,
D# C#
But heaven is harsh,
D# G#
A# fire unfaithful
F# F D#
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.
G#
I know where you hang.
A# D#
I drive by there often.
A# G#
I spy on the circus
A# D#
You make of your friends.
[Chorus]
D# C#
Heaven is harsh,
D# G#
A# fire unfaithful
F# F D#
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.
A# G# D#
Broken eyes in your head.
A# G# D#
Broken arms at your side.
A# G# F
Broken bird on a string.
A#
Shake 'er till she sings,
F# F
And you reel that sucker in
Cb A#
By her broken baby wing,
Cb A#
And you shake her till she sings,
Cb A#
And you shake her till she sings.
