O Jarhead O Wife by Jordaan Mason And The Horse Museum

F#m             C#m
I gave birth to body white
D              A
Collected to my thighs
F#m               C#m
Held her there, between my legs
    D                  A
And brought my knees up high

A            Bm     A          E
And she slid out, I don't know how
A        Bm     A          E
She slid out, I don't know how
    A                  Bm
And you left your meat all in the leaves
A                        E
Gathering sweat from the graves
    A                   Bm
And you body cistern, I brought you a sister
     A                      E
From what holes I could not crave
         A          E
But I'll go, and be brave
     A         E
I'll go and be brave
  A         E                A                E
I only have faith in what is good, in what is good
  A              Bm          A  E
I knew a boy who built an aviary
   A                Bm                 A   E
He gathered all the wood that he could carry
  A               Bm           A              E
I pulled from his chest to get blind from the bees
    A            Bm           A             E    A  Bm  A  E
And we exchanged helium cause we're tired of ceilings

  A         Bm                 A  E
I found him bucked out, like a jarhead
    A             Bm              A     E
His antlers found seaweed from an ocean bed
    A          Bm              A         E
And he carried carvings of his own geography
    A                  Bm               A           E  A  Bm  A  E
But had he stabbed his own eyes out, so he couldn't see

F#m       C#m           D       A
I said "I don't want to be your wife
F#m        C#m              D        A
I couldn't stand to do this my whole life
F#m C#m           D   A
My breast milk is heavy
    F#m                C#m              D            A  Bm  A  E
And you don't have the strength to help me with this baby."

Am                          E
And when we pull out of each other
  Am                       E
I ask you if you can tug me off
    Am                      E
You ask me if I can put you out
    Am                      E
You ask me if I can put you out
      Am              E                      Am
Like "what fire" and "drag the shit from each other"
 E                       Am
"All the fluids from your mother"
E                          Am              E
I can barely stand in your lake disease again
          Am            E
With your vomit up to my waist

A                        Bm          A               E
And in the hospital they ask me if I know where your parts go
A                   Bm          A                  E  A
But i tell them your body isn't made from skin they know
