Matt Nathanson – Pigeons (Guitar)

G
You were in a black dress

C
Bowie in the kitchen

G              C
Pigeons on your balcony

G
Beautiful and barefoot

C
Said you never show your bruises

G                       C
I was hoping that you might show me

G
I'd been living in a lifeboat

C
Dizzy on the ocean

G                       C
I couldn't tell you when I last saw land

G
I washed up on your doorstep

C
A servant at the temple

G                    C
A Hail Mary from a drowning man

Cadd9                         Em
And it felt romantic to learn a new language

Cadd9                          G        D/F#
Desperate and damaged and aching to be

Em                      D          Cadd9
Yeah you came on like the queen of chaos

D                         G
Like some unsolvable mystery

G
Your daddy made a living

C
Selling Jesus and the manger

G                   C
Salvation in the land of sin

G
And every time that you got me

C
In a vulnerable position

G                         C
Well you told me that I looked like him

Cadd9                          Em
And it felt electric to have your attention

Cadd9                  G       D/F#
Full surrender to your gravity

Em                    D             Cadd9
Yeah, you came on like the queen of chaos

D                                G
A child who only could ever play make-believe

G                          C
And you're never gonna let anybody stand beside you

G                                 C
You just sell 'em what they wanna hear

G                                    C
Cause you're good at telling stories and talking revolution

G                                C
And using people 'til they disappear

Em                 D            Cadd9
A goddess when you get what you wanted

G                              D
When you don't my love, you're mean

Em                   D          Cadd9
You came on like the queen of chaos

D                           G      C
But I never met anybody less free

G               C
Anybody less free
