Bright Eyes – Poison Oak (Guitar)

A                             Dsus2
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery

       A                                Dsus2
When the telephone was a tin can on a string 

     F#m                                            E
And I fell asleep with you still talking to me

                       A              Dsus2
You said you weren't afraid to die

    A                                       Dsus2
In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes

        A                                           Dsus2
Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the drawer? 

   F#m                                    E
Well I don't think that I ever loved you more

                A 
Than when you turned away

            Dsus2 
When you slammed the door

          F#m                          E
When you stole a car drove, towards Mexico 

          A                       Dsus2
And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm

       F#m                     E
I was young enough, I still believed in war

E                                    F#m
But let the poets cry themselves to sleep

E                                                 F#m
And all their tearful words would turn back into steam

               A                Dsus2
But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue

               F#m                   E
And there's a muddy field where a garden was

                 A
And I'm glad you got away 

                Dsus2
But I'm still stuck out here

                F#m                    E                
My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears

E                                       F#m
And I never thought this life was possible

E                                               F#m 
You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for

              A                Dsus2
The end of paralysis I was a statuette 

          F#m                  E
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench

            A                     Dsus2
And when I press the keys it all gets reversed

              F#m                E
The sound of loneliness makes me happier
