[Intro]
G# Bm G# Dm
[Verse 1]
G# All I had hoped for Bm I kept inside your car G# D#m The rabbit in the barn G# Most of all I wait Bm I wait beside the door G# D#m I wait beside the door
[Verse 2]
G# Oh, I was wrong Bm Trembling in the cage G# I was diamonds in the rage D#m You little boy G# In seven hours Bm I consider death G# And your father called to yell at me D#m You little boy
[Verse 3]
G# Found out you cheated me Bm I ran behind the barn and cut my hand somehow G# Blood in the meadow lark D#m I punched your ears instead G# I punched you in the head Bm You only laughed and laughed and laughed G# How I was wrong, tingling from the kill D#m You tickle me until G# You devil bird, you evil still Bm I slept on my arms, sleeping on the sill G# I was sleeping in the room with you D#m You little boy, you little boy
[Verse 4]
G# How could you run from me now Bm The loneliest chime in the house G# The loneliest chime in the house D#m You let it out, you let it out G# Come to your Calvary still Bm I'm bleeding and breaking until G# I'm bleeding in spite of my warmth for you D#m It bruised and bruised my will
[Verse 5]
G# Come to me now with your pains Bm The breathing inside of the rage G# You touched me inside of my cage D#m Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me
[Verse 6]
G# Come to me feathered and frayed Bm For I am the ugliest prey G# For I am the ugliest prey D#m Beyond the reckless, reckless raise
[Verse 7]
G# You said you'd wait for me Bm Down by the tannery creek G# Far out by the clothesline D#m Where we used to kiss behind the sheets G# Wrapped in a blanket of red Bm The owl and the tanager sat G# The owl and the tanager said D#m One waits until the hour is death
