Flightless Bird, American Mouth Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]I was a quick, wet boy,
diving [Em]too deep for coins
All of [C]your street light eyes
wide [D]on my plastic toys
Then when the [G]cops closed the fair,
I cut [Em]my long baby hair
Stole me [C]a dog- eared map and
called [D]for you everywhere
Have I [G]found [Em]you
Flightless bird, [C]jealous, weeping
Or lost [D]you,
[G]Amer[Bm] ic [G]an m[Em]outh

[Verse 2]
[C]Big [D]pill looming
Now I'm [G]a fat house cat
Nursing [D]my [Em]sore blunt tongue
Watching the [C]warm poison rats
curl through [D]the wide

[Verse 3]
[D]Fence cracks
Pissing on [G]magazine photos
Those [Em]fishing lures thrown in the [C]cold
And clean blood of [D]Christ
mountain stream
Have [G]I found y[Em]ou
[C]Flightless bird, grounded, [D]bleeding
Or [G]lost [Em]you, [C]American mouth
Big pill [D]stuck [G]going down
