G B7 Em E5/B
My heart is a poor bird, weary and worn
D/A D Em Em7 Em**
With no place to perch in this orchard of thorns
G/B B7 Em E5/B
And steel blades and jagged, it’s cold now and torn
D D/A Em/B Em Em Em**
It’s hungry, lord, and ragged, it’s weary and worn
[Chorus]
D A Em/B Bm
Oooh ooh codeine arms
D A Em Bm
Wrap around me safe and warm
G B7 Em
Under the light of your sweet charms
G B7 Em E5/B Em Em**
Save me, save me, codeine arms
[Verse 2]
G B7 Em Em**
It’s a bad night to be outside, it’s a tough way to go
D D/A Em Em7 Em
Got losing cards in your hand, nothing there to show
G/B B7 Em Em/B
Don’t the angels hear you coming and don’t they fly away
D D/A Em/B Em Em Em**
It will be just me come Judgment Day
[Chorus]

[Verse]
G/B B7 Em/B Em
A belly full of codeine will bring the high spirits down
D/A D Em Em/B Em
And the spirits in my glass will wash the codeine down
G G/B B Em/B Em
And when the shotguns ring I won’t feel a thing
D/A D Em Em/B Em**
I won’t feel a thing, I won’t feel a thing
