F#m             C#m 
I gave birth to body white 
D              A 
Collected to my thighs 
F#m               C#m 
Held her there, between my legs 
    D                  A 
And brought my knees up high 

A            Bm     A          E 
And she slid out, I don't know how 
A        Bm     A          E 
She slid out, I don't know how 
    A                  Bm 
And you left your meat all in the leaves 
A                        E 
Gathering sweat from the graves 
    A                   Bm 
And you body cistern, I brought you a sister 
     A                      E 
From what holes I could not crave 
         A          E 
But I'll go, and be brave 
     A         E 
I'll go and be brave 
  A         E                A                E 
I only have faith in what is good, in what is good 
  A              Bm          A  E 
I knew a boy who built an aviary 
   A                Bm                 A   E 
He gathered all the wood that he could carry 
  A               Bm           A              E 
I pulled from his chest to get blind from the bees 
    A            Bm           A             E    A  Bm  A  E 
And we exchanged helium cause we're tired of ceilings 

  A         Bm                 A  E 
I found him bucked out, like a jarhead 
    A             Bm              A     E 
His antlers found seaweed from an ocean bed 
    A          Bm              A         E 
And he carried carvings of his own geography 
    A                  Bm               A           E  A  Bm  A  E 
But had he stabbed his own eyes out, so he couldn't see 

F#m       C#m           D       A 
I said "I don't want to be your wife 
F#m        C#m              D        A 
I couldn't stand to do this my whole life 
F#m C#m           D   A 
My breast milk is heavy 
    F#m                C#m              D            A  Bm  A  E 
And you don't have the strength to help me with this baby." 

Am                          E 
And when we pull out of each other 
  Am                       E 
I ask you if you can tug me off 
    Am                      E 
You ask me if I can put you out 
    Am                      E 
You ask me if I can put you out 
      Am              E                      Am 
Like "what fire" and "drag the shit from each other" 
 E                       Am 
"All the fluids from your mother" 
E                          Am              E 
I can barely stand in your lake disease again 
          Am            E 
With your vomit up to my waist 

A                        Bm          A               E 
And in the hospital they ask me if I know where your parts go 
A                   Bm          A                  E  A 
But i tell them your body isn't made from skin they know
