[Intro]
Ab Bb Eb Gm Ab Bb
[Verse]
Eb Gm The sky goes from concrete to charcoal Cm Eb Ab I'm laying on my back on the roof F Gm Ab Gonna shoot these clouds full of holes Eb Bb I need some fucking light to pour through Eb Gm Cause December's got me up against the ropes Cm Eb Ab And I don't know how to get loose F Gm Ab I can't get feeling back in my toes Eb Bb From walking in circles with you Bb Ab F Like we're lost Canadian geese F Cm Bb I should be south of here already
[Chorus]
Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound Eb D C# You're just doing what you're told C# Ab Pick my body off the ground Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird...
[Verse]
Eb Gm I'm staring at Hemingway's shotgun Cm Eb Ab And I'll picture him drinking alone F Eb He's forgetting things that he wouldn't have before Eb Bb His eyes are starting to go Eb Gm And I heard all about how his plane went down Gm Cm Eb Ab After Christmas in the Congo F Gm Ab Eb Read about his own death in the paper Eb Bb I bet it was freeing to know Ab F When you destroy everything worth chasing Cm Bb There's no where left to go
[Full Chorus]
Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound Eb D C# You're just doing what you're told C# Ab Pick my body off the ground Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird Bb Eb Hanging from your mouth Eb D C# You're doing like you're told C# Ab Gonna make your master proud Ab Bb It's good to know F I didn't die for nothing
[Bridge]
Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm December's got me backed into a corner again Cm Gm F My ears are back, my teeth are showing Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm I'm combing through the wreckage trying to find where I've been Cm Gm F I still get phantom pains but from a safer distance
[Full Chorus]
Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound Eb D C# You're just doing what you're told C# Ab Pick my body off the ground Ab Bb I'll be your dead bird Bb Eb Hanging from your mouth Eb D C# You're doing like you're told C# Ab Gonna make your master proud Ab Bb It's good to know
