Okkervil River - Black sheep boy

^AmBleeding black sheep boy, ^Emmirror in pieces. ^GTurn the receiver, ^Dtrace the police station. ^AmLine to my number and^Em number my reasons for th^Gis paranoia, for th^Dese accusations.

Each ^Amnight the numbers ^Empaired off like lovers, col^Glided together so ^DI can remember my ^Amname or my nation. ^GBay black sheep boy.

Go ^Bmback beyond the p^Emasture, you ^Bmcracked out of my^Em head. Get ^Bmin your battered ^EmMustang and the^G back seat will be^D your bed.

^AmBurning black sheep boy, ^Emdark denim phantom. ^GFace full of flames, the e^Dars full of cheers that have fanned them. I'd ^Amslice off the ^Emhorns that sprung right from those temples I was ^Gchased from my bedroom, I was ^Dchased from my candles.

By ^Amfear of the numbers, ^Empaired off like lovers, col^Glided together so ^DI can remember my ^Amface or my station. ^EmPacing black sheep boy.

The f^Bmloor just won't sup^Emport you, You ho^Bmvered through the ^Emroom. Get ^Bmin your battered ^EmMustang and the backs^Geat will be your t^Domb.

And I ^Amrode into Baltimore and I ^Emfound a hotel room where I ^Gtried to escape you, but the ^Dphone line wouldn't go through. And ^Aminside the mirror, well I ^Emsaw you stamping staring out I'd ^Grecognize your eyes You fell for ^Dany of the lines ^Amthat come flying out. Nothing I'^Emve heard from you sounds sane or safe. Words fal^Gling down from the ceiling where the ^Dmirror is stealing the ^Amlight to reveal us both ^Emtonight and we're both kneeling in the

^Gblack pool of your ^Dshadow. You ^Amcracked out of my ^Emhead. Go ^Gback beyond the pa^Dsture, where I'll smash your ^Ammirror till you're ^Emdead.
