        Eb

I was a quick, wet boy, 



            Cm

Diving too deep for coins



             Ab

All of your straight blind eyes, 



             A#

Wide on my plastic toys



              Eb

And when the cops closed the fair



          Cm

I cut my long baby hair



            Ab

Stole me a dog-eared map



                   A#

And called for you everywhere









Eb

Have I found you?



Cm               Ab          A#

Flightless bird, brown hair bleeding



Eb

Or lost you?



Cm

American mouth



Ab         A#

Big bill, still going down
