Intro: C  F  C  G  C  F   G

C                               F  
When you mend the patches of my clothin'
C                                     G   
You know every thread goes through my heart
C                               F  
Guessin' that the river's gonna dry up
C                           G             C
Well, I said that's not the reason why we bard

C                                 F   
Lookin' 'round the corner where I left you
C                      G    
Wonderin' whatever led me there
C                                 F       C                          G
Knowin' that a quiet, unconscious feeling could be bought to drown a memory
C 
anywhere

Dm                                          C 
She said, "I don't want your medicine and I don't need the sparrow in my heart"
Dm                                    F                                 G 
When I'm covered by the thunder I get rid of all your breath deep in my lungs
                    C
Splayed in the wind apart

(Repeat Intro)

C                                 F 
And when I touch the ceiling on a spring day
C                              C 
Wishin' it could heed up every crow
C                                F 
So that they could lift me by my shoulders
C                        G                C
Take me from this frozen lake and let you know

Dm                                     C
Just that I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
Dm                                       F
When I'm covered by the thunder I'll get rid of all the breath deep in our 
G
lungs
                 C
Splayed the wind apart

C                                                 F 
Hell I'm still standing 'round the corner where I left you
C                             G 
Diggin' up a quite sufficient track
C                                  F     C                   G
Never know when you're behind that angle with a tranquilizer gun in your
      C
sweet hand

Dm                              C 
Oh I want to be your medicine I want to feed the sparrow in your heart
Dm                                F
When we're covered by the thunder we'd become just one and feel the lightning 
G
shard
                 C
Splayed the wind apart

(Repeat Intro)
