Bloodhound

G  Bm    F#m  D


[Verse]

        G  Bm    F#m  D
My bloodhound
                    G
baying at your door
        Bm   F#m D
The wild grass
                          G  Bm    F#m
overlapping your front porch
             D                        G     Bm    F#m
The sound of scratching claws trimmed short
      D               G      Bm     F#m  D
Keeps you buttoned up on the floor
    A      D         G
And you're reduced to howls
    A       D        G
And I'm not there to drown them out
A          D      G
Swallowing up the room

Letting yourself down


[Verse 2]

G  Bm         F#m   D
Darling I'll be fine   (The hiccups my mouth emits)

G    Bm          F#m    D
I've left behind my calluses (This solicitude I won't forgive)
G        Bm       F#m   D
I'll be whatever you like (All of this inside my head)
     G        Bm        F#m    D
Your seafaring love to the shore


[Verse 3]

         G           Bm           D
When the tide rolled in there was nothing left
       G    Bm          D
But an albatross hanging from my neck
    G       Bm        D
And just as you could not contain the sea
G         Bm     D
You could not contain me
