Lady Gay Approximately

• Verse 1

Verse 1
Bm
Former dove comes back to the house
     Asus2
With blood on its wings and a bone in its mouth
          Em                Bm
He was on drugs or something

Verse 2
Bm
Mother asks about his health
    Asus2
And doesn't know which of them needs the most help
         Em                Bm
Call the cops or something

Chorus 1
Em                      Asus2
Everything stands on communication
Em                             Asus2
If you can't talk then there's no escaping
Em                     Asus2
Even if you could talk no escaping this
Em                        Asus2
If it's a breakdown, then why won't it break?
             G/D   G
Why won't it break?

Verse 3
    Bm
And they both tremble silently
    Asus2                               Em
And wait, and wait and finally he finds something
          Bm
Some words

Verse 4
  Bm
I heard what you said when I turned my back
             Asus2
How could it possibly still hurt?

This is where we've been at
          Em                        Bm
Since the fourth grade choir recital

Verse 5
  Em                     F#m7
I picked my battles just like you said
     Em                    F#m7
Some days I decide I would rather be dead
Em                 F#m7
It's the dead one you get
Em                 F#m7
It's the dead one you get
                       G/D  G
Keep the rest for myself

Verse 6
         Em                F#m
Still, I could not let you go
         Em         F#m      G
Before you knew the way back home
          Em               F#m           Bm
Something happened to me before you were born

Verse 7
          Bm
You appeared to me in a spark of light
        Asus2
Saying "I am the one who wants this life
          Em              Bm
If you'll have me, I will come"

Verse 8
    Bm
I'd prayed to God to give me this grace
  Asus2
A place for this pain, a smiling face
           Em               Bm
That could feel this with me

Verse 9
        Bm
And you came in a coat of many colors
    Asus2
The shine of your feathers was like no other
       Em
Please wear it again, we swear we won't hurt you
    Bm
We swear we won't hurt you this time

Asus2 Em Bm

Verse 10
           Bm
And you're telling me not to say the name
                Asus2                                  Em
But also you're looking in my eyes and asking me, "Am I dead?"
                 Bm
No, you're my son

Outro
Bm                       Asus2                    Em
"Am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am I dead?"
             Bm
No, you're my son
Bm                       Asus2                    Em
"Am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am, am I dead?"
             Bm
No, you're my son

Em F#m G
