Crooked Spine

           F#5
Hey Mrs. Crooked Spine
Walking ominously
Swingin' right leg after left
                G#5
You're drinking bottle after bottle of uncertainty
It seems but
            B
You've had metal rods put in your back
So show them what that means
              F#5
Yeah, your ex-lover owes you money
And I don't think he's coming through
             G#5
Cause he's a scumbag alcoholic
Lost his way at 22
          B
He's a spineless ordinary
Without a single rod to hold his back up straight

F#5      Eb     D      C#      C        B
                Stop acting like you don't deserve happiness

           F#5
I saw you trapped inside a cave
As I was resting on a hill
         G#5
Hans was in there with you too
The wood arising for the kill
            B
I tried to pull you out
But couldn't get you
Through that two foot gap
          F#5
I walkеd away in pace and panic
I wasn't sure of what to do
                 G#5
The dеad moss resting by an isolated boulder was a clue
                  B
Sometimes there's no way out
Sometimes you drown with loved ones there to watch

F#5     Eb      D      C#        C           B
                Stop feeling like you were never important to me

F#                  B
Strong Spine Sammy Jane
You're lighting your whole world up
By your feet up and bruised like you used to be
F#                B
S-Shaped Vertebrae
You've got stories to tell the world
Don't be so scared to tell them what you've been through

F#5   G#5   B

                 F#5
I'm sure you're fed up with the distance
As much as me, and if not more
              G#5
But we don't show that much resistance
Never settled up a score
            B
Maybe we're cold and some what callus
From all the bullshit we've endured
             F#5
Like growing up around addiction
The leeches screaming at the walls
              G#5
As we deliberate between letting it bring and picking up the calls
              B
To a slurred out conversation
Filled with shame and brutal self-deprecation

F#5    Eb      D      C#        C        B
               Stop talking like you don't deserve anything

F#                  B

F#                        B
I know I wasn't good to you
When we were growing up
And I blame myself for doing damage to your confidence
F#                         B
I wish I could take it back
Despite how much we've overcome
I was such an angry child
But that's no excuse to lean on
F#5     Eb      D      C#        C           B

              F#5
You worried endlessly for days
About the scar upon your back
             G#5
I said that scar was something special
No matter how some kids react
          B
You have spinal reinforcement
