Jealous Of The Bird


Tom: C

   G          Bm
I wish I was bolder
         Em              C
Full of red, yellow and blue
       G           Bm
Cigarillos in my pocket
        Em             C
And a doodle that you drew
        G         Bm
On the back of a boarding pass
    Em         C
To Berlin Germany
      G                 Bm
Go ahead and make your money
    Em             C
Across the choppy sea


[Verse 2]
  G                Bm
Now, oh hell, it's April
      Em             C
The blossoms on the trees
 G            Bm
Fall like confetti
      Em             C
And twirl around my knees
    G                Bm
Was I your favorite person?
     Em             C
Cuz baby, you were mine
     G              Bm
And if you'd only let me
      Em                C
I'd squeeze you like a lime


[Verse 3]
   G          Bm
I took your compliments
        Em             C
I just struggled to believe
      G           Bm
That I was worth loving
                 Em                 C
And you weren't lying through your teeth
     G            Bm
In truth, I'm a Russian doll
    Em       C
My ego shut inside
    G              Bm
I painted them by hand
          Em            C
And I'll never let them die


[Verse 4]
     G                Bm
My cracked skull is a bowl
      Em            C
That holds a coral sea
      G                  Bm
It's filled with trashy poems
     Em              C
And eastern cherry trees
     G              Bm
Despite how much I want to
      Em               C
Just punch you in the face
    G                     Bm
My favorite smell on this earth
     Em               C
Is still your pillow case
