Intro F E F E 

F         Fm F  E 
Here's my body, I am undone
F        Fm   F   E
Let them have me, let them come
F         Fm F     E
Blue beaks aching, flesh forsake me
F                           Am
Only bones for the hunter's gun

F       Fm F   E 
Load me heavy, I can't bend
F        Fm F       E 
Break me better, so I won't mend

F          E 
The forest murmurs
 F       E 
'Careful creatures
F         E                    G
She'll be gone when the master comes'

              F 
They heard my heart for miles
    Am
The air inside
    G
Was seeping out
In silent shouts
   F              Am
It crumpled in my chest

Am      E
Let's undress   
F       Fm   F   E  
I don't want you to heal me
F       Fm   F    E 
Rather, take this broke machine
F       Fm     F    E 
Hold me close, this beast of burden
F        Fm                  F  
Hide and skin in the morning light

F       Fm   F    E 
I'll be here when you can't breathe
F        Fm F     E 
Waiting, patient, silently
