Chords

[Intro] D G A D G A [Verse]
D                      G
The sun above me and a concrete floor below

F#m            D                 G                 A
Scratch at the chain links maybe bare my teeth for show

D                          G
Fed twice a day I don't go hungry anymore

F#m        D                   G             A
Feel in my bones just what the future has in store

F#m        A             D           G
I pace in circles so the camera will see

D                                    A             D
Look hard at my stripes, there'll be no more after me
[Verse]
D                      G
Laze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark

F#m           D                G                A
Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark

D                       G
Smell something burning downwind just a little ways

F#m         D                 G                  A
They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days

F#m       A               D            G
I have no fear of anyone, I'm dumb and wild and free

D                                       A             D
I am a flightless bird, And there'll be no more after me
[Instrumental] D G A D G A [Verse]
D                   G
In Costa Rica, in a burrow underground

F#m          D                 G             A
Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around

D                       G
I'm all alone here as I try my tiny song

F#m            D                G                   A
Claim my place beneath the sky, but I won't be here for long

F#m        A               D           G
I sang all night, the moon shone on me through the trees

D                                 A             D
No brothers left, and there'll be no more after me
