[Intro]
|A5 |B5 |C5 |D5 |
[Verse 1]
A5 B5 C5 In my mind, not enough birds have died D5 A5 In the shadow of this once cast stone B5 C5 And I'm not unwell, but I am ill at ease D5 A5 With all the buttons still left to sew B5 C5 D5 A5 B5 Through needles eyes, see me sharper than I see myself
[Refrain]
G5 D5 A5 C5 So you should stitch me in to stop me from bleeding
[Verse 2]
A5 B5 C5 And education can be fickle I think D5 Sometimes the more you learn A5 B5 C5 The more you lose a sense of what you think you know D5 A5 About all the buttons still left to sew B5 C5 D5 A5 B5 And I'm outside myself more and more these days
[Refrain]
G5 D5 A5 C5 So you should stitch my skin to stop me from bleeding A5 All over this fresh song and I C5 Acknowledge all the corners G5 D5 A5 C5 And all the freshly painted walls, that bear no former scars A5 Since they're patched up and over now C5 But I was born of miners G5 D5 A5 C5 B5 And I'm designed to chip away, tunnel into the dark
[Chorus]
C5 G5 D5 But why must it always come down to some unseen contender? A5 B5 C5 I don't know G5 D5 A5 When hatchlings all we are just battling the whitewash birds above B5 C5 Sharks below G5 D5 Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me A5 B5 C5 B5 I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows
[Bridge]
Em G5 But every now and then a tempest blows Em B7 And the veneer I keep becomes unsewn C5 G5 But will you ever read me well? C5 I can only assume so Em G5 And I'm buoyant like a flotsam man Em B7 Relegated by the waves to land C5 G5 They dry me like a brittle bone C5 A5 C5 D/F# G5 D5 A5 E5 Em D/F# Paraded like a polished stone
[Chorus]
C5 G5 D5 A5 But why must it always come down to some unseen contender? Em D/F# C5 I don't know G5 D5 A5 Em When hatchlings all we are just battling the whitewash birds above D/F# C5 Sharks below G5 D5 A5 Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me Em D/F# C5 G5 A5 Em D/F# I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows
[Chorus]
C5 G5 D5 A5 But why must it always come down to some unseen contender? Em D/F# C5 I don't know G5 D5 A5 Em When hatchlings all we are just battling the whitewash birds above D/F# C5 Sharks below G5 D5 A5 Though I feel empathy towards the ones who threaten me Em D/F# C5 G5 D5 A5 Em I'd still leave them soft-shelled to the beaks of crows D/F# C5 G5 D5 A5 Em And that's what you ought to know D/F# C5 G5 D5 A5 Em D/F# C5 D/F# G5 D5 A5 Em I'd see them smashed on the reefs below
