I was a quick wet boy [Bb] diving [Cm] too deep for [G] coins
all [Ab] of your street light eyes white [Bb] on my plastic toys
then [Eb] when the cops closed the fair [A] I cut [Cm] my long baby hair
[G] and stole me [Ab] a doggie and map and called for [Bb] you everywhere
[Eb] have I found you?
[Cm] light as bird
[Ab] jealous
[Bb]
weeping
[Eb] oh lost you
[Bb] [Cm] American mountain
[Ab] big bill [Eb] [Bb] blue
now [Eb] I'm a fat house cat
nurse and [Cm] my sword are blunt
done watching [Ab] the war
boys in vans
girl [Bb] through the wide fence cracks
pissing [Eb] on magazine photos
[Cm] those fish tan wars
[Ab] grown into gold and clean
but [Bb] of christ mountain stream
[Eb] have I found you?
[Cm] light as bird
[Ab] grounded
[Bb] sleeping
[Eb] oh lost you
