G
He cries out her eyes,
   A     D
A fire unfurnaced.
     A            G
The curve of her spine
    A       D
Is heaven unbound,
    D         C
But heaven is harsh,
  D      G    
A fire unfaithful
       F             E            D
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.

                 G
I know where you hang.
   A             D
I drive by there often.
      A      G
I spy on the circus
    A            D
You make of your friends.

[Chorus]

   D      C
Heaven is harsh,
  D      G 
A fire unfaithful
       F             E            D
Like a bird that you hold in your palm.
       A    G       D
Broken eyes in your head.
       A    G       D
Broken arms at your side.
       A    G    E
Broken bird on a string.
                   A
Shake 'er till she sings,
        F                E
And you reel that sucker in
       Bb          A
By her broken baby wing,
        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings,
        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings.

[Verse 2]

                 G
He cries out her eyes,
    A           D
As blue as her fingers.
     A           G
The curve of her ass
   A     D
Is unparalleled.

[Chorus]

 D        C
Heaven is harsh,
   D   G
A fire ungrateful
         F        E            D
Like the bird you hold in your palm.
       A    G       D
Broken eyes in your head.
       A    G       D
Broken arms at your side.
       A    G    E
Broken bird on a string.
                   A
Shake 'er till she sings,
        F                E
And you reel that sucker in
       Bb          A
By her broken baby wing,
        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings,
        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings.

        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings,
        Bb                 A
And you shake her till she sings.
