[Verse 1]
Bm
Former dove comes back to the house

With blood on its wings and a bone in its mouth

He was on drugs or something

Mother asks about his health

Call the cops or something
[Chorus 1]
Em                      Asus2
Everything stands on communication

Em                             Asus2
If you can't talk then there's no escaping

Em                     Asus2
Even if you could talk no escaping this

Em                        Asus2
If it's a breakdown, then why won't it break?

Why won't it break?

And they both tremble silently

And wait, and wait and finally he finds something

          Bm
Some words
[Verse 4]

I heard what you said when I turned my back

             Asus2
How could it possibly still hurt?
This is where we've been at
          Em                        Bm
Since the fourth grade choir recital
[Verse 5]
  Em                     F#m7
I picked my battles just like you said

     Em                    F#m7
Some days I decide I would rather be dead

Em                 F#m7
It's the dead one you get

Em                 F#m7
It's the dead one you get

                       G/D  G
Keep the rest for myself
[Verse 6]
         Em                F#m
Still, I could not let you go

         Em         F#m      G
Before you knew the way back home

          Em               F#m           Bm
Something happened to me before you were born
[Verse 7]
          Bm
You appeared to me in a spark of light

        Asus2
Saying "I am the one who wants this life

          Em              Bm
If you'll have me, I will come"
[Verse 8]
    Bm
I'd prayed to God to give me this grace

  Asus2
A place for this pain, a smiling face

           Em               Bm
That could feel this with me
[Verse 9]
        Bm
And you came in a coat of many colors

    Asus2
The shine of your feathers was like no other

       Em
Please wear it again, we swear we won't hurt you

    Bm
We swear we won't hurt you this time
Asus2 Em Bm [Verse 10]
           Bm
And you're telling me not to say the name

                Asus2                                  Em
But also you're looking in my eyes and asking me, "Am I dead?"

                 Bm
No, you're my son
[Outro]
Bm                       Asus2                    Em
"Am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am I dead?"

No, you're my son

Bm                       Asus2                    Em
"Am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am I dead?"

No, you're my son
