Intro
G Em G
Em
He reads like a bible, acts just like a birdcage,
Em7 G (intro lick)
roars like an engine, dying out on burnt rage,
Em
you can blow out all the candles and fire up the lime light,
Em7 G (lick)
she looks through him with the cold canary gaslight.
(no chord) G Em G
Oh sister, don't you look at what I've done. (2x)
Em
Father's at the front door, dusting off the floor mat,
Em7 G (lick)
brittle like his thick bark and tired like his old hat,
Em
He used to wonder how a young boy travels to a grown man,
Em7 G (lick)
said he walked on water he was dancing on quicksand.
G Em G (lick)
Oh father, don't you look at what I've done. (2x)
G Em G Em G
Em
And you see me tearing up the floor boards, white sheets covered you,
Em7 G (lick)
fire in my eyes and water pouring through the roof.
Em
And you heard I found a mine shaft, digging past midnight,
Em7 G (lick)
I crawled into the dark with the cold canary gaslight.
Em (once)
I tried to throw a rope down and didn't feel it pull back,
(no chord) G (lick)
dead canary chirping now, cold blood in pitch black.
Outro
