[Verse 1]
G
He cries out her eyes,
A D
A fire unfurnaced.
A G
The curve of her spine
A D
Is heaven unbound,
D C
But heaven is harsh,
D G
A fire unfaithful
F E D
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.
G
I know where you hang.
A D
I drive by there often.
A G
I spy on the circus
A D
You make of your friends.
[Chorus]
D C
Heaven is harsh,
D G
A fire unfaithful
F E D
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.
A G D
Broken eyes in your head.
A G D
Broken arms at your side.
A G E
Broken bird on a string.
A
Shake 'er till she sings,
F E
And you reel that sucker in
Bb A
By her broken baby wing,
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings,
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings.
[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
G
He cries out her eyes,
A D
As blue as her fingers.
A G
The curve of her ass
A D
Is unparalleled.
[Chorus]
D C
Heaven is harsh,
D G
A fire ungrateful
F E D
Like the bird you hold in your palm.
A G D
Broken eyes in your head.
A G D
Broken arms at your side.
A G E
Broken bird on a string.
A
Shake 'er till she sings,
F E
And you reel that sucker in
Bb A
By her broken baby wing,
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings,
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings.
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings,
Bb A
And you shake her till she sings.
