Flightless Bird, American Mouth(Chords)

	        Verse1  

I was a quick wet boy  
         C  

Diving to deep for coins  
          Am  

All of your straight blind eyes   
            F  

Wide on my plastic toys  
          G  

And when the cops closed the fair  
             C  

I cut my long baby hair  
         Am  

Stole me a dog-eared map  
           F  

And called for you everywhere  
                   G  

Chorus  

Have i found you?  
        C  

Flightless bird, jealous, weeping  
           Am     F        G  

Or lost you?  
C  

American mouth  
Am  

Big bill, looming  
F          G  

Verse 2  

Now i'm a fat house cat  
           C  

Cursing my sore blunt tongue  
           Am  

Watching the warm poisen rats  
             F  

Curl thorough the wide fence cracks  
                   G  

Kissing on magazine photos  
           C  

Those fishing lures thrown in the cold and clean  
      Am                          F  

Blood of Christ mountain stream  
                G  

Chorus  

Have i found you?  
C  

Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding  
Am               F          G  

Or lost you?  
C  

American mouth  
Am  

Big bill, still going down   
F         G
