Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

  Cbar /

Got glue in your feathers

What brought you to this?

A flightless bird surrounded by

Red handed kids

  Cbar

In their borrowed black sheep's clothes

Now everybody's in on the joke

So practice your boredom

Look a thousand times removed

Cause only a freak would sing

In a crowded waiting room

  Cbar /

They would turn you out in the cold

Because everybody's in on the joke

Are you missing a stranger

That you might have loved?

Do you feel that there's something

You don't feel enough?

There's a perfectly good poison

 For the perfectly numb

If you want some

But naming the feeling

It just, it kills the charade

And if flowers should bloom

Upon your wallpaper face

It will follow you everywhere you go

Because everybody's in on the joke

Desire only burns

And envy's always green

A mind can only race

And a heart, it can only beat

There's these towering neon signs

We must uphold

To keep out the blackness

And run with the blue

Now only a fool would sing

As if he's telling the truth

Could you swallow down

That lump in your throat?

Because everybody's in on the joke

Are you missing a stranger

That you might have loved?

Do you feel that there's something

You don't feel enough?

There's a perfectly good poison....

Are you missing a stranger

That you might have loved?

Do you feel that there's something

You don't feel enough?

There's a perfectly good poison....
