Nicole Dollanganger – Cement (Ukulele)

          Em
Cages and cases

   C                  Em
Of starving birds and dead things

   C           Em       C
No longer look anything like they did

                Em
When they'd been living

Am                     Em           C       Em
   The things you love you put into cement

Am                  Em                C          Em
   In order to keep them they have to be dead

Am                    Em                   C            Em
   You think that he's yours but it's only in your head

Am                  Em               C                D   Em
   His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not your bed

            Em
Lockets and caskets

        C            Em
Full of garbage and ashes

C             Em           C
Nothing but collections of nothing

            Em
You've been protecting

Am                     Em           C       Em
   The things you love you put into cement

Am                     Em           C       Em
   In order to keep them they have to be dead

Am                     Em           C       Em
   You think that he's yours but it's only in your head

Am                  Em               C                D   Em
   His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not your bed

Em              C
Taking baths in concrete

Em                            C
Harbor a love for things that don't exist

Em                   C
Try to set them into stone

        Em                  C
But you can't, he's made of bones and flesh

Am                     Em           C       Em
   The things you love you put into cement

   You think that he's yours but it's only in your head

Am                  Em               C                D   Em
   His coffin is not your arms, his grave is not your bed
