            A                      
you're obsessed with finding a new 
 E
brain
               D            A
but what you need is a new body
                D              
it feels your brain has lived a 
    A              E
thousand lives before
          A                 E
and the skin you call your home
          D                        
holds a heart that quits and knees 
      A
that buckle in
      D                A          
and lungs that can't breathe when 
         E
they're alone
         A                   
and the days come to you like 
    E
sailors
           D                   A
you watch them as they drift away
                D     A        
they meet the sunrise out at the 
     E
horizon


[Chorus]
           A                E
and it's neither sink nor swim
               A                 
at least the water's beneath your 
  E
chin.


[Verse]
          A                    E
there's blood spilled on the floor
              D                  A
everyone's staring at you, what for?
            D           A    
until you realize the blood is 
            E
probably yours

                  A                
you feel you've lost something, you
          E
 want it back
           D                  A
you lie emotionless on your back
          D                  A    
and your legs aren't taking 
   E
anymore requests
          A         E
those disobedient wrecks
          D                   
how you cared for them as they 
   A
carried you
       D             A         
from class to class and coast to 
   E
coast


[Chorus]
                 A              
when you owned land and when you 
       E
were broke
          A             E
through recessions and addictions


[Bridge]
                D          A
it's just your accidental death
       D         A
your accidental death
                 D          A
it's just your accidental death
             D              E   
you're the indian in the cougar's 
   A
nest.


[Verse]
        A                 E
your fright gives way to memory
       D                    A
having coffee with your love
          D                A      
or the story your father told you 
      E
long ago
          A                    E
he was hunting with his own father
      D                    A
for deer he pointed and spotted her
           D                A     
and then tripped over some roots 
        E
or some dead trees
     A             E
the gun went off, it was a mistake
        D                A
and my father was only eight
           D                 A
and as he watched the dying deer,
        E
he was changed.


[Chorus]
                 A                 
'cause he felt sorry for what he'd 
  E
done
        A            E
and he put down his gun
                A                  
will you feel sorry for what you've
   E
 done?
          A             E
will you put down your gun?
                   A          D
cause there's no accidental death
                   D         
when you're the indian in the 
    E       A
cougar's nest
