Am C G D
Oh, pick me up I'm this bundle of sticks
Am C G D
Tied with the stems of clover and brambles
Oh, pick me up I'm this bundle
Wrapped in shrouds of muscle
Am C G
And patched with cedars and shadows
Am C G D
Patched for a million miles
Am C G
Waiting like a praying mantis
To be found by a curious child
Am C G D
Those tiny ones with open—eyed wonder
Am C G
Like the jaws of a yawning coyote
Or a cactus blooming early
Am(5) Em
And loving dawn like a mother
Loving dawn like a mother
C G D
And wishing that rain was the answer X2
Am(5) Em
And loving dawn like a mother
Loving dawn like a mother
C G D
And wishing that rain was the answer
And in curious jars we're a spinning'n 'n 'n
Am(5) Em
Spinning, spinning, spinning into sickness
Spinning, spinning, spinning into sickness
C G
And singing for stillness X2
Spinning, spinning, spinning into sickness
Spinning, spinning, spinning into sickness
C G
And making up a still bed
C G D
making up a still bed
D Em
And making up a still bed

C G D
So I'm notching my spine with thorns pulled from your thumb
notching my spine with thorns pulled from your thumb
C
and I am swallowing my,
G D
I'm swallowing my bees down
C G D
I'm buckling my, I'm buckling my knees up
I'm eating my own hide to hide in my own skin
I'm eating my own hide to hide in my own skin
Am C G D
'Till I am left a hanging
Am C G
Upside down and draining
Am C G D
Like skinned does a dangling
Am C G
From a hunters oak limb
Like my sisters those does
woven in red shrouds
Am C G D
Wearing bare ribbons
Am C G
of tightly wrapped muscles
And bearing the burden
Am C G D
of being that gift from the forest
That turns humans wooden
D
when opened

So can you, can you, can you tell me?
So can you, can you, can you tell me?
Am(5) Em
If it's easier to be emptier but lighter
Am(5) C G D
Or if it's easier to be the lantern or the fire
Am(5) Em
If it's easier to be a lover or an echo
Am(5) C G D
If it's easier to be the bull or the fighter
Am(5) Em
Or if it's easier to die by arrows or by tigers
Am(5) C G D
If it's easier to fly by monarchs or by sparrows
C G D
By monarchs or by sparrows
D C (ou Em)

D
And in you and in us and in we
D G Am D
And in you and in us and in we
Em(7) C
Grizzly paws hide me
Grizzly paws hold me
Grizzly cradles me
Em(7) C
Raising my like an offering
C G D
Of a bundle of sticks to the sun
Of a bundle of sticks to the sun,
D Em
to the sun

Am C G Am
Now I'm sewing, sewing, sewing medicine bundles
C G Am
With grass threads and porcupine quills
I'm filling them up with galaxy beams
C G Am
And with all the stars you've snuffed and all the ghosts you've been
With every shape you've morphed and all the trees you've stumped
I'm filling them up with all the blood your heart has pumped and pumped
And with all of the love that your mouth has rushed
With all of the voices that your ears have rung
With all of the life that your dirt has sprung
And with all of the magic that your gardens have grown
I'm filling up these bundes with all the seeds you've sewn, and sewn, and sewn
All the roots you've webbed and all the wind you've blown, and blown, and blown
C G Am G D
All the roots you've webbed and all the wind you've blooohoo ouhohohooo
D C G Am
And I'm filling up these bundles with all the twins you've born
With every brother lost and all the organs you've loaned
With every brother lost and all the organs you've loaned
C G Am G D
With every brother lost and all the organs you've loanooohoo ouhohohooo
Am G D (like into picking)
So, pick us up we're these bundles
Tied with the stems of clover and brambles
Oh, pick us up we're these bundles
Wrapped in shrouds of muscle
Voil
