Accidntel Deth by Rilo Kiley
Accidntel Deth
[Verse]
A E
you're obsessed with finding a new brain
D A
but what you need is a new body
D A E
it feels your brain has lived a thousand lives before
A E
and the skin you call your home
D A
holds a heart that quits and knees that buckle in
D A E
and lungs that can't breathe when they're alone
A E
and the days come to you like sailors
D A
you watch them as they drift away
D A E
they meet the sunrise out at the horizon
[Chorus]
A E
and it's neither sink nor swim
A E
at least the water's beneath your chin.
[Verse]
A E
there's blood spilled on the floor
D A
everyone's staring at you, what for?
D A E
until you realize the blood is probably yours
A E
you feel you've lost something, you want it back
D A
you lie emotionless on your back
D A E
and your legs aren't taking anymore requests
A E
those disobedient wrecks
D A
how you cared for them as they carried you
D A E
from class to class and coast to coast
[Chorus]
A E
when you owned land and when you were broke
A E
through recessions and addictions
[Bridge]
D A
it's just your accidental death
D A
your accidental death
D A
it's just your accidental death
D E A
you're the indian in the cougar's nest.
[Verse]
A E
your fright gives way to memory
D A
have them cough you with your love
D A E
or the story your father told you long ago
A E
he was hunting with his own father
D A
for deer he pointed and spotted her
D A E
and then tripped over some roots or some dead trees
A E
the gun went off, it was a mistake
D A
and my father was only eight
D A
and as he watched the dying deer,
E
he was changed.
[Chorus]
A E
'cause he felt sorry for what he'd done
A E
and he put down his gun
A E
will you feel sorry for what you've done?
A E
will you put down your gun?
A D
cause there's no accidental death
D E A
when you're the indian in the cougar's nest
