Sufjan Stevens - The Owl And The Tanager: chords

D#m       G#
All I had hoped for
                   A#m
I kept inside your car
                   G#
The rabbit in the barn
D#m           G#
Most of all I wait
                  A#m
I wait beside the door
                   G#
I wait beside the door

Chorus:
D#m              G#                  A#m
And all I was wrong trembling in the cage
                       G#
I was diamonds in the cage
D#m       G#                A#m
In seven hours I consider death
                                 G#
And your father called to yell at me
                D#m
You little boy, you little boy

Found out you cheated me
I ran behind the barn
And cut my hands somehow
Blood in the meadowlark
I punched your ears instead
I punched you in the head
You only laughed and laughed and laughed

Chorus:
D#m         G#                    A#m
How I was wrong tingling from the kill
            G#                           D#m
Tickle me until you devil bird you evil still
            G#                    A#m
Slept on my arms, sleeping in the sill
                                G#
I was sleeping in the room with you
                           D#m
You little boy, you little boy
                           G#
How could you run from me now?

                           A#m
The loneliest chime in the house
                             G#
The loneliest chime in the house
You let it out you let it out

D#m                 G#
Come to me Calvary still
                        A#m
I'm weeding and raking until
                             F#
I'm bleeding in spite of my love for you
    A#m                    D#m
It bruised and bruised my will
                    G#
Counting alluvial plains
                            A#m
The breathing inside of the range
                             G#
You touched me inside of my cage
                                D#m
Beneath my shirt your hands embraced me
                           G#
Come to me feathered and frayed
                      A#m
For I am the ugliest prey,
                      F#
For I am the ugliest prey
          A#m                   D#m
The owl, the reckless reckless prey

F#                      C#
You said you'd wait for me
                     D#m
Down by the Tannery Creek
                             G#
Far out by the clotheslines where
                             F#
we used to kiss behind the sheets
                        C#
Wrapped in a blanket of red
                         D#m
The owl and the tanager said
                        G#
The owl and the tanager said
                            D#m
One waits until the hour is death
