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