Bloodbath For Birds

Cm The ticking of the clock was tap tap Fm tapping against the insides of my skull Fm While I heard the neighbors moaning Cm on the other side of the wall And I rocked back and forth on the edge of the bed Fm trying to keep my insides in And for a second I thought I felt the imprint of your fingers Cm like tiny burn marks on my skin, like like tiny burn marks Fm like like tiny burn marks, like like tiny burn marks on my skin Cm Remember the feverish night I dreamt of the machine Fm That makes planets for parallel galaxies out of plasticine? Cm I forgot about the worries that keep me busy on weekends Fm And I got the fortune cookie that says I’ll always be a true friend Cm But oh how I want you to undress for me and Fm oh how bored I’d be if you did Cm And I can’t risk this, I’d just stare and shrug and say Fm “I’m sorry, I can’t think of anything better to do for the both of us.” Cm “Pose for me” she said, “come on closer to me” she said, Fm “come on pose for me”, she said Cm “This is all that I can get and this is all I really want I want your heartbeat like a drum Fm I want your heartbeat like a drum for a short and sweet song.” Cm I drank the whole glass of milk because I knew it would make me sick Fm I ate the pigeon and the rabbit, afraid of your magic tricks Cm And I blew out all the candles, I poured the wine into the ground Fm When you talk I just smile and turn up the music real loud Cm But oh how I want you to undress for me and Fm oh how bored I’d be if you did Cm And I can’t risk this, I’d just stare and shrug and say Fm “I’m sorry, I can’t think of anything better to do for the both of us.” Cm “Pose for me” she said, “come on closer to me” she said, Fm “come on pose for me”, she said Cm “This is all that I can get and this is all I really want I want your heartbeat like a drum Fm I want your heartbeat like a drum for a short and sweet song.” Cm “Pose for me” she said, “come on closer to me” she said, Fm “come on pose for me”, she said Cm “This is all that I can get and this is all I really want I want your heartbeat like a drum Fm I want your heartbeat like a drum for a short and sweet song.”
