[Verse 1]
G# D# The black bird sits atop my guts and spreads its wings for flight G# D# My shoulders back, my jaw pushed out, my stomach sucked in G# D# Its wingtips push across my lungs and fill them full of feathers G# D# But the brushstrokes feel like hearth pokes into my skin G# D# The black bird feasts upon my guts and bears its beak to fight G# D# My shoulders back, my jaw pushed out, my stomach sucked in G# D# Its wingtips push across my lungs and fill them full of feathers G# D# Now they poke between my teeth and that's why I thirst
[Pre-Chorus]
A# D# A# D# And when he flies me to the top A# D# A# D# There's nothing but the fog A# D# A# D# A heart of stone, eggshell for bones A# D# They lead you to be lost
[Chorus]
D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The black bird is a part of me (The dark slope drags you down) D# A part of me, so sad to see (The dark slope drags you down) D# The black bird is a part of me (The dark slope drags you down) A# D# A# D# A# D# So sad to see, so sad
[Verse 2]
G# D# I ask before I go for you to drop a lit match down my throat G# D# And smoke the bastard out, it'll burn him to a crisp G# D# 'Cause I'm already carrion, been eaten from the inside too long G# D# This black bird wants to rip me limb from limb G# The black bird dips its beak in blood D# And writes its thoughts in cursive G# D# 'Cross the bones that are its jailer and my ribcage G# And when you turn me inside out D# Believe in me, without a doubt G# D# The words were all of his and none of mine
[Pre-Chorus]
A# D# A# D# And when he flies me to the top A# D# A# D# There's nothing but the fog A# D# A# D# A heart of stone, eggshell for bones A# D# They lead you to be lost
[Chorus]
D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The dark slope drags you down D# The black bird is a part of me (The dark slope drags you down) D# A part of me, so sad to see (The dark slope drags you down) D# The black bird is a part of me (The dark slope drags you down) A# D# A# D# A# D# So sad to see, so sad
