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