Becoming A Jackal Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Am]The most familia[D]r room[B]
Every imple[Em]ment was leading to you
And [Am]your homely [C]sense of disarray
[G]Never once the sam[Dm]e[C]
Always [Am]rearranged
But things would [G]nev[D] er ch[Dm]ange[B]
In the seam [Baug]between[B]
[Em]the window frame
[D]Where the jack[C]als preyed
on every [Am]soul[G]
Where they tied you to a [Dm]pole
[C]And stripped you of your clothes

[Verse 2]
[G]I was a dre[C]am er[Bm]
[Em]Staring out win [Am]dows[Bm]
[G]Out onto the[C] main str[Bm]eet
[Em]'Cause that's where the drea[Am]m goes[Bm]

[Verse 3]
And each [Am]time they found
[D]fresh meat [B]to chew
I would turn [Em]away and return to you
[D]You would offer[C] me
[Am]your unmade [G]bed
Feed me till [D]I'm fed[Dm][C]
And read me [Am]'til I'm read
But when the [F#dim]morning came
[B]You would catch me at the[Em] window again
[D]In an eyes-w[C]ide-open sleeping
sleeping sleep[Em]ing [Am]state[G]
Staring into [Dm]space
[C]With no look upon my [G]face
I was a [C]dream

[Verse 4]
[Bm]er
[Em]Staring out win [Am]dows[Bm]
[G]Out onto the[C] main str[Bm]eet
[Em]'Cause that's where the [Am]dream goes[Bm]

[Verse 5]
[C]And when I got old[G]er
[Am]When I grew bold[C]er[F]
Out onto the streets I [G]flew[Am]
Released from [G]your shackles
[C]I danced with the jac[Dm]kals[Em]
[F]And learned a new way to mov[Em]e
So [Am]before [G]you take this
song as [Em]truth[B]
[Baug]You should wonder what[Ebdim]
I'm [Em]taking from you
How [Am]I be[C]nefit from you being h[G]ere
Lending me [Dm]your ears[C]

[Verse 6]
While I'm selling you my fears
[G]I was a dre[C]amer [Bm](I'm selling
you [Em]my fears)
Staring out [Am]windows [Bm](I'm selling
you [G]my fears)
Out onto [C]the main [Bm]street (I'm selling
you [Em]my fears)
'Cause that's where the [Am]dream
[Bm]goes [G](I'm selling you)
I was [C]a dream[Bm] er
[Em]Staring out win [Am]dows[Bm]
[G]Out onto the[C] main str[Bm]eet
[Em]'Cause that's wher[Am]e the dream goes[Bm]
