Poison Oak

A               Dsus2


[Verse]

A                             Dsus2
Poison oak, some boyhood bravery
       A                           
When the telephone was a tin can on
     Dsus2
 a string
     F#m                        
And I fell asleep with you still 
                    E
talking to me
                       A           
You said you weren't afraid to die
   Dsus2



A       Dsus2


    A                           
In polaroids you were dressed in 
            Dsus2
women's clothes
        A                       
Were you made ashamed, why'd you 
                    Dsus2
lock them in the drawer?
   F#m                             
Well I don't think that I ever 
       E
loved you more


[Chorus]

                A
Than when you turned away
Continúa después del anuncio
            Dsus2
When you slammed the door
          F#m                      
When you stole a car drove, towards
    E
 Mexico
          A                     
And you wrote bad checks just to 
  Dsus2
fill your arm
       F#m                     E
I was young enough, I still believed
 in war


A       Dsus2

[Verse 2]

E                                 
But let the poets cry themselves 
   F#m
to sleep
E                                 
And all their tearful words would 
                F#m
turn back into steam
               A              
But me, I'm a single cell on a 
  Dsus2
serpent's tongue
               F#m               
And there's a muddy field where a 
    E
garden was
                 A
And I'm glad you got away
                Dsus2
But I'm still stuck out here
                F#m                
My clothes are soaking wet from 
    E
your brother's tears


A               Dsus2

A               Dsus2


[Bridge]

E                                 
And I never thought this life was 
      F#m
possible
E                              
You're the yellow bird that I've 
                 F#m
been waiting for
              A             
The end of paralysis I was a 
   Dsus2
statuette
          F#m                  E
Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano 
bench
            A                   
And when I press the keys it all 
  Dsus2
gets reversed
              F#m               
The sound of loneliness makes me 
 E
happier
