Capo on 3rd fret.
AmGot glue in your feathers
Gmaj/G
What brought you to this?
FA flightless bird surrounded by
GRed handed kids
Cbar G F Am F
In their borrowed black sheep's clothes
F Gmaj/G C Csus2
Now everybody's in on the joke
AmSo practice your boredom
Gmaj/G
Look a thousand times removed
FCause only a freak would sing
GIn a crowded waiting room
Cbar Gmaj/G F Am F
They would turn you out in the cold
FBecause evGerybody's Cin oCsus2n the joke
FAre you missing a stranger
Gmaj/G C Csus2
That you might have loved?
FDo you feel that there's something
Gmaj/G C Csus2
You don't feel enough?
FThere's a pGerfectly good poison
For the G4perA4fecG4tly Fnumb
FIf you want some
But naming the feeling
It just, it kills the charade
And if flowers should bloom
Upon your wallpaper face
It will follow you everywhere you go
Because everybody's in on the joke
Desire only burns
And envy's always green
A mind can only race
And a heart, it can only beat
There's these towering neon signs
We must uphold
To keep out the blackness
And run with the blue
Now only a fool would sing
As if he's telling the truth
Could you swallow down
That lump in your throat?
Because everybody's in on the joke
Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison....
Are you missing a stranger
That you might have loved?
Do you feel that there's something
You don't feel enough?
There's a perfectly good poison....
