Verse 1:

C
I was a quick wet boy

Am
Diving too deep for coins

F
All of your straight blind eyes

G
Wide on my plastic toys

C
And when the cops closed the fair

Am
I cut my long baby hair

F
Stole me a dog-eared map

G
And called for you everywhere

Chorus:

C
Have I found you?

Am F G
Flightless bird, jealous, weeping

C
Or lost you?

Am
American mouth

F G
Big bill looming

Verse 2:

C
Now I'm a fat house cat

Am
Cursing my sore blunt tongue

F
Watching the warm poison rats

G
Curl through the wide/white fence cracks

C
Kissing on magazine photos

Am F
Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean

G
Blood of Christ mountain stream

Chorus:

C
Have I found you?

Am F G
Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding

C
Or lost you?

Am
American mouth

F G
Big bill, still going down
