[Dm] [G]
This is called [C] Chet Baker's Unsung Swan.
I just read the liner notes.
[G] I don't know a lot about Chet.
[E] I love his music.
The [G#] liner notes say they don't know [A] if he jumped or fell [G] or was pushed.
[Am]
He came out [G] that window in [Dm] Amsterdam.
If he was [G] in Amsterdam, he was probably using again.
He had [C] a hungry arm.
So this is just my [D] imagination.
[F] Seeing all those beautiful springtime images, [G#] like the boat on the river,
[A] or the flowers that came up early in the [C] spring.
Too early.
[Am] [Em] [A]
Somehow they're showing [G] him how close he is to that [Dm] edge.
[G]
[C] My own addiction
[F] Changed the [D] wiring in my [Fm] brain
[Em] So that the wind
[C]
Turns [Am] the [Em]
[D] switches
[C]
[D] And [G] I am not the same
[C] So like the flowers toward the sun
I will [F] follow
And stretch myself [C#] too thin
[Em] Like there's a [C] part of me
[A] That's already [Am]
buried
[Em] That [G] sends me out into this wind
[Dm] [C]
[D] My [Gm] own [C]
addiction
[F]
Like the flood [C#m] upon the [F] land
When this [C] tiny [Em]
[C] lifeboat
[Am] Can keep [D] me [Am]
dry
[Dm] [G]
My weight is all [F] that it can [G] stand
[C]
When I try to lean just a [F] little
Just a
[Fm] splash to cool my feet
[C]
Fickle [Am] turns out
[G] Fickle fills my boat up
Five miles [C] deep
[F]
[C] [G]
[Am]
[G]
[F] Five [G]
miles deep
My own [C] addiction
Makes me crave [F] only
For [Fm]
me
[C]
But [Em] I crave just like the [A] just this morning
[Dm] sunburns
[G] Craving upward from the nest to see
[C]
These tiny birds outside my window
[F]
Take my hand, be their mom
[C] These open mouths will just [Am] trust and swallow
[Dm]
[G] Anything that comes along
[C]
Guess it's just me and my own addiction
[F]
Now the other side [Fm] of day
Has [Em] the string tied
My [G] lifetime
Turns the other way
[C]
If a swan can have a song
[F] I think I know that [Fm] tune
But [C] [Em] the page [C] is on my [G] scroll
And [E] I am [G]
gone this
[C]
afternoon
[F]

But the page is [Am] on my [C] scroll
