The Black Bird, The Dark Slope

Lời bài hát kèm hợp âm cùng dòng

[Verse 1]
[D]The black bird sits ato[G]p my [D]guts
and spreads its [A]wings for flight
My shoulders [G]back, my jaw pushed [D]out,
my stomach sucked in
Its [G]wingtips push across [D]my lungs
[A]and fill them full of feathers
But [D]the brushstrokes feel like

[Verse 2]
hearth pokes into my skin
[D]The black [G]bird feasts upon my guts and
[F#m]bears its beak to fight
My shoulders [G]back, my jaw pushed out,
my stomach [D]sucked in
[G]Its wingtips push across my lungs
and [A]fill [F#m]them full of feathers
[A]Now [G]they poke between my
teeth and that's why [D]I thirst

[D]

[Verse 3]
[G]When [D]he flies me to [Bm]the top
there's [A]nothing [G]but the[Bm] fog[A]
A [G]heart of stone[D], e[G]gg [D]shell for bone[Bm]s,
they [A]lead you [G]to be lost
[Bm]The [D]dark[G] s[D]lope[Bm] drag[D]
[G]s y[D]ou down
The black [Bm]bird is a [F#m]part o[D]f me,
[G]so [D]sad to [Bm]see[D][Em][D]
So [Em]sad to be me

[Verse 4]
I [Em]ask be[G]fore I[D] go for you [G]to dro[D]p
a lit [A]match down my throat
And smoke the [G]bastard out
or burn him to a [D]crisp
Cause I'm [G]already carrion,
[D]been eaten [A]from the inside too long
This black [D]bird wants [G]to rip
me limb [D]from limb
[G]The black bird dips its beak in blood and [A]writes
[F#m]its thoughts in cursive 'c[D]ross
[G]The bones that are its
jailer and [D]my ribcage
And [G]when you turn me inside out,
be[A]lieve [F#m]in me without a doubt
The [G]words were all of his
and none [D]of mine

[Interlude 2]
[D]

[Verse 5]
[D]When [G]he flies me to [D]the[Bm] top
there's [G]nothing but the [Bm]fo g[A]
A [G]heart of stone, [D]egg shell for [Bm]bones,
[A]they [G]lead you [Bm]to b[D]e lost
The [Bm]dark slope [D]drags you down
[G]The [D]bla[Bm]ck bi[D]rd[G] is [D]a part o[Bm]f me,[D]
[Em]so sad t[D]o see
So [Em]sad to be me
