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