[Intro]
Ab Bb Eb Gm Ab Bb
[Verse]
Eb Gm
The sky goes from concrete to charcoal
Cm Eb Ab
I'm laying on my back on the roof
F Gm Ab
Gonna shoot these clouds full of holes
Eb Bb
I need some fucking light to pour through
Eb Gm
Cause December's got me up against the ropes
Cm Eb Ab
And I don't know how to get loose
F Gm Ab
I can't get feeling back in my toes
Eb Bb
From walking in circles with you
Bb Ab F
Like we're lost Canadian geese
F Cm Bb
I should be south of here already
[Chorus]
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound
Eb D C#
You're just doing what you're told
C# Ab
Pick my body off the ground
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird...
[Verse]
Eb Gm
I'm staring at Hemingway's shotgun
Cm Eb Ab
And I'll picture him drinking alone
F Eb
He's forgetting things that he wouldn't have before
Eb Bb
His eyes are starting to go
Eb Gm
And I heard all about how his plane went down
Gm Cm Eb Ab
After Christmas in the Congo
F Gm Ab Eb
Read about his own death in the paper
Eb Bb
I bet it was freeing to know
Ab F
When you destroy everything worth chasing
Cm Bb
There's no where left to go
[Full Chorus]
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound
Eb D C#
You're just doing what you're told
C# Ab
Pick my body off the ground
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird
Bb Eb
Hanging from your mouth
Eb D C#
You're doing like you're told
C# Ab
Gonna make your master proud
Ab Bb
It's good to know
F
I didn't die for nothing
[Bridge]
Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm
December's got me backed into a corner again
Cm Gm F
My ears are back, my teeth are showing
Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm
I'm combing through the wreckage trying to find where I've been
Cm Gm F
I still get phantom pains but from a safer distance
[Full Chorus]
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird, you'll be my bloodhound
Eb D C#
You're just doing what you're told
C# Ab
Pick my body off the ground
Ab Bb
I'll be your dead bird
Bb Eb
Hanging from your mouth
Eb D C#
You're doing like you're told
C# Ab
Gonna make your master proud
Ab Bb
It's good to know
N.C
I didn't die for nothing
[Bridge]
Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm
December's got me backed into a corner again
Cm Gm F
My ears are back, my teeth are showing
Eb Gm Ab Bb Cm
I'm combing through the wreckage trying to find where I've been
Cm Gm
I still get phantom pains
F Eb
I didn't die for nothing
