Introduction:
C#m E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
F#m A
I know you're too afraid to call
C#m E
They're getting ready for the winter here
F#m A
They've gathered pyramids of salt
C#m E
You saw them having trouble breathing
F#m A
I know you think that it's your fault
C#m E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
F#m A
Keeping quiet through the fall
C#m E
There's a bird inside your rib cage
F#m A
He screams so I never forget
C#m E
I wanna break open your sternum
F#m A
I wanna rip him from his nest
C#m E
And sow you back up like a garden
F#m A
Growing flowers from your chest
C#m E
There's a bird inside your rib cage
F#m A C#m
I keep trying to forget
A E C#m B
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
A E C#m B
I drew a line in the sand, you washed it away again
C#m E
I saw you hiding in the ivy
F#m A
Watched the night start to decay
C#m E
And you wonder in the morning who's gonna drag
F#m A
The sun out of the lake
C#m E
You move gently off the sore spots
D A
I can see that you're in pain
C#m E
Everything left in the light here long enough

Is someday gonna fade

We're so vacant
A
These bodies
E
Collapsing
A
So gracefully
E
And I love you
A
And I'm sorry
E
And I understand if you blame me
A
And I'm helpless
E
And you're drowning
A C#m B
And I'm beating at the water here so desperately
C#m
So desperately
C#m B A E
I drew a line in the sand with these worthless fucking hands
