[Intro] D G [Verse 1]
D            G                   D
  Held a bird's egg between her breasts

                 G              D
There's reasons for the road I guess

        G             D
To document the indigenous

               G
To paint and sketch, paint and sketch

    D           A       G    D
I'm starting to fail to be impressed
[Verse 2]
D          G            D
  United state of ricochet

               G                  D
From the boardwalk to the Appian way

             G                    D
The diamond files, the corporate raves

                   G
You'd practically kill not to be afraid

        D           A            G        D
And I'm starting to choke on the things I say
[Chorus 1]
             A                                   D
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                                   G
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                             G           D
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down, down
[Verse 3]
D             G                        D
  Browbeaten out from underneath your dress

         G           D
The documented indigenous

       G                  D
Civilization flipped its desk

              G
You know the rest, there is no rest

        D           A       G           D
And I'm starting to fail to know what's best
[Chorus 2]
             A                                   D
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                                   G
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down

             A                             G           D   G
I'm putting down, I'm putting down, I'm putting down, down

 D   G  D   G  D   G  D  G  D  G  D
Down,  down,  down,  down
D A G D
