Poison Oak

A Dsus2 Poison oak, some boyhood bravery A Dsus2 When the telephone was a tin can on a string F#m E And I fell asleep with you still talking to me A Dsus2 You said you weren't afraid to die A Dsus2 x2 A Dsus2 In polaroids you were dressed in women's clothes A Dsus2 Were you made ashamed, why'd you lock them in the drawer? F#m E Well I don't think that I ever loved you more A Than when you turned away Dsus2 When you slammed the door A Dsus2 When you stole a car drove and towards Mexico A Dsus2 And you wrote bad checks just to fill your arm F#m E I was young enough, I still believed in war A Dsus2 x2 E F#m But let the poets cry themselves to sleep E F#m And all their tearful words would turn back into steam A Dsus2 But me, I'm a single cell on a serpent's tongue A Dsus2 And there's a muddy field where a garden was A And I'm glad you got away Dsus2 But I'm still stuck out here F#m E My clothes are soaking wet from your brother's tears A Dsus2 x2 E F#m And I never thought this life was possible E F#m You're the yellow bird that I've been waiting for A Dsus 2 The end of paralysis I was a statuette A Dsus2 Now I'm drunk as hell on a piano bench A Dsus2 And when I press the keys it all gets reversed F#m E The sound of loneliness makes me happier A Dsus2 x4
