Intro  
D F*  D F*  D F*  Bb x3 


[Verso 1]
 
      D       A            G 
You came as a bird in a dream to my bed 
            D                 A        G 
Your talons sharp, your wings dark and splintered 
         D       F#m     G                Em 
You were born in fall and never left that state 
      D           A         Bb 
I was born in the middle of winter 


Interlude 
D F*  D F*  D F*  Bb x2 


[Verso 2]
 
         D           A             G 
In the grasp of your palm and your pale craning neck 
    D           A            G 
You looked like some kind of martyr 
          D         F#m            G              Em 
Is it the down that refines all the bones of your back 
       D       A              Bb 
Or the pierced skin makes you harder 


Interlude 
D F*  D F*  D F*  Bb x2 


[Verso 3]

        D               A           G 
I will sort through the stacks of a souvenir heart 
       D            A              G 
I will work 'til my hands start to blister 
         D    F#m       G           Em     D 
Like a papier-mâché artifact I will not be afraid 
        A          Bb 
When my loneliness crumbles

Outro  
Bm                        A 
Walking last night on the road to your house 
       Em                   G 
I felt calm and capable, my heart beat patient 
         Bm               A                   D 
In the cross cut winds, I thought I heard the funeral 
A               G            Em 
Train of thought leave the station
