The Contortionist by Joey Cape
The Contortionist
Capo:no capo
F#
In a chalk dotted line*
C#
Draw a kid, left behind
F
Severed limbs in harmony
Bb G#
Strumming from a few good deeds
F#
Carry it to survive
C#
To a bed half alive
F
Held before a dozen times
Bb G# F#
Deep inside a funeral for a friend:
C# F
Runs in portions like film clips
Bb G#
Run, run
F#
Rundown the list
F#
The memoirist
F
Like kindling
Bb G# C#
Burn, burn, burn, burn it down
F
I will stay inside
F#
The saved
Bb G# C#
It's a good mourning
F
They will ignite you
F#
The doomed
Bb G#
And I will write for you
F#
Of a boy, damaged goods
C#
Of a bench, understood
F
For a spell, the soul resides
Bb G#
In a yellow chalk outline
F#
Carry on the camel's back
F#
Have another heart attack
C# F
To the cure I would drive
Bb G# F#
Played that scene a hundred times to date
F# C# F
Today's ambition, to relate
Bb G# F#
In a sustaining saccharine state
C# F
Impart the burden and get well
Bb G# Bb
It's what everyone's trying to sell
F F# G# A Bb
F F#
G# F F#
Anything you want it to be
C# F
Weigh the screenplay and revise
Bb G# F# C#
Warp, warp, warp with the contortionist
F Bb G# C#
So hopelessly ill-fated everyday
F
He will stay inside
F#
The doomed
Bb G# C#
It's a good mourning to loom
F
They will inspire him
F# Bb G# Bb
The saved Innocently filling graves
