Birds With Broken Wings

Em


(Verse)

         Em                       
Bring me birds with broken wings, 
Am
Men with all the answers,
B                            
People who have killed,Give me 
  Em
incurable cancers.
          Em                    
Bring me beaches slicked in oil, 
         Am
Give me disregard for doubt,
B                                 
Street lights shine on broken 
        Em
Roads where no one is about.
             Em           
I want that hopeless green 
             Am
depression, Punishments without a 
cause,
         B                     
Give me impotent obsession, And 
 Em
disregard for laws.
           Em                   
I want the trees in single file, 
            Am
Bring the corpse of something rare,
        B                        
Show me children who are sinners, 
         Em
Show me mounds of human hair.


(Chorus)

Am                               
I climbed up the mountain just to 
Em
kill my son,
Am                           Em
An angel tried to stop me with a 
ram,
             Am                    
Well he said “your mind’s 
             Em
infected”, But I said “you lack 
perspective”,
B
You gotta walk the bottom if you 
wanna see the top,


Em                 Am           
La da da da, La da da da, La da 
B              Em
da da da da da da da da
Em                 Am           
La da da da, La da da da, La da 
B              Em
da da da da da da da da



(Verse)

        Em                    Am
Give me poison I can swim in, Water 
I can’t drink,
 B                              
Wheels that won’t stop spinning, 
          Em
Teach my children not to think.
            Em                   
I want the fruit that tastes like 
                  Am
nothing, extra thumbs for every 
crook,
         B                         
Give me lessons without questions, 
       Em
a mild disdain for books.
       Em                    Am
Give me metaphors unraveled, Poetry 
defined,
            B                      
Bring me the head of Dionysius, But
       Em
 please don’t spill out the wine.
         Em                      
Trade the future for the present, 
          Am
Trade me ashes for my history,
        B                          
I don’t need to look inside,I know 
    Em
the answer to the mystery.

(Chorus)

Am                               
I climbed up the mountain just to

Am                           Em

(Bridge)

C                      Em
Oh I know they call me crazy,
C                      Em
But there will be no turning back,
Am                     Em
I don’t care if things get ugly.
B
Once the word of god is spoken,
B
There’s no way to take it back,
