('I'm Wide Awake It's Morning', 2005) Tabbed by Hal [email protected] A Dsus2 A Dsus2
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
    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

	  A			     Dsus2
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
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
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

	       A		   Dsus2
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
A Dsus2 A Dsus2
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		       Dsus 2
The end of paralysis I was a statuette 

	  A		     Dsus2
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
A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2 A Dsus2
