All chords relative to capo
Intro: C F C G C F G
[C]When you mend the patches of my [F]clothin'
[C]You know every thread goes through my [G]heart
[C]Guessin' that the river's gonna [F]dry up
[C]Well, I said that's not the [G]reason why we [C]bard
[C]Lookin' 'round the corner where I [F]left you
[C]Wonderin' whatever led [G]me there
[C]Knowin' that a quiet, unconscious [F]feeling [C]could be bought to drown a [G]memory
[C]anywhere
[Dm]She said, "I don't want your medicine and I [C]don't need the sparrow in my heart"
[Dm]When I'm covered by the thunder I get [F]rid of all your breath deep in my [G]lungs
Splayed in the wind [C]apart
(Repeat Intro)
[C]And when I touch the ceiling on a [F]spring day
[C]Wishin' it could heed up every [C]crow
[C]So that they could lift me by my [F]shoulders
[C]Take me from this frozen [G]lake and let you [C]know
[Dm]Just that I want to be your medicine I [C]want to feed the sparrow in your heart
[Dm]When I'm covered by the thunder I'll get [F]rid of all the breath deep in our
[G]lungs
Splayed the wind [C]apart
[C]Hell I'm still standing 'round the corner where I [F]left you
[C]Diggin' up a quite sufficient [G]track
[C]Never know when you're behind that [F]angle [C]with a tranquilizer [G]gun in your
sweet [C]hand
[Dm]Oh I want to be your medicine I [C]want to feed the sparrow in your heart
[Dm]When we're covered by the thunder [F]we'd become just one and feel the lightning
[G]shard
Splayed the wind [C]apart
(Repeat Intro)
