O Jarhead O Wife by Jordaan Mason And The Horse Museum
O Jarhead O Wife
Capo:no capo
F#m C#m
I gave birth to body white
D A
Collected to my thighs
F#m C#m
Held her there, between my legs
D A
And brought my knees up high
A Bm A E
And she slid out, I don't know how
A Bm A E
She slid out, I don't know how
A Bm
And you left your meat all in the leaves
A E
Gathering sweat from the graves
A Bm
And you body cistern, I brought you a sister
A E
From what holes I could not crave
A E
But I'll go, and be brave
A E
I'll go and be brave
A E A E
I only have faith in what is good, in what is good
A Bm A E
I knew a boy who built an aviary
A Bm A E
He gathered all the wood that he could carry
A Bm A E
I pulled from his chest to get blind from the bees
A Bm A E A Bm A E
And we exchanged helium cause we're tired of ceilings
A Bm A E
I found him bucked out, like a jarhead
A Bm A E
His antlers found seaweed from an ocean bed
A Bm A E
And he carried carvings of his own geography
A Bm A E A Bm A E
But had he stabbed his own eyes out, so he couldn't see
F#m C#m D A
I said "I don't want to be your wife
F#m C#m D A
I couldn't stand to do this my whole life
F#m C#m D A
My breast milk is heavy
F#m C#m D A Bm A E
And you don't have the strength to help me with this baby."
Am E
And when we pull out of each other
Am E
I ask you if you can tug me off
Am E
You ask me if I can put you out
Am E
You ask me if I can put you out
Am E Am
Like "what fire" and "drag the shit from each other"
E Am
"All the fluids from your mother"
E Am E
I can barely stand in your lake disease again
Am E
With your vomit up to my waist
A Bm A E
And in the hospital they ask me if I know where your parts go
A Bm A E A
But i tell them your body isn't made from skin they know
