[Intro 1]
[C][F][C][Am][Dm][F][C]

[Verse 1]
Empty [C]pocket... take [F]hold of the lamb's ear
[C]between your thumb and [Am]finger... all [Dm]pilled [F]and threadbare.
[C]I'll lead you down from the[F] hip
towards [C]the falls...
Azalea- [Am]blushed,
turned red so slow we couldn't [F]remember
If it was ever pink [Am]at all.

[Verse 2]
[C]Canary's throat is pink [F]and
ribbed with sailor's [C]songs..,
Re[G]mem[Dm]brances [Am]and
cursing [C]the black hole.
Poor son of a bitch,
couldn't even [F]fly for [C]the mist...
Can't remember [Am]the ocean but felt
the pitch and [C]roll in her chest.

[Interlude 1]
[C]

[Verse 3]
This [B]path, it tightens off.
I hear the [C]ocean in [G]it's depths...
[B]Past the [Em]flowstone and the
[C]icicle [G]fence.
Cocksure [B]sailor, you're pol[Em]ished [C]gyp[G]sumand warm milk
shore- leave- aban[B]don and [Em]lashes [Am]heavy [C]fro[G]m the mist.

[Interlude 2]
I'll lead you down..
[Em][C][F]
[C][Am][C][F][C]

[Verse 4]
Canary's [C]song caught [F]in [C]her throat...
Closed [Am]off s[F]harp and c[C]rystalline.
Her songs [Am]still [C]han[F]g in the tracery.
[C]Poor son [Am]of a bitch,
couldn't even [F]fly for [C]the mist....
Color leached [Am]out so slow she couldn't
remem[F]ber if she was ever pink at all.
