[Verse]
D                      G
The sun above me and a concrete floor below
F#m            D                 G                 A
Scratch at the chain links maybe bare my teeth for show
D                          G
Fed twice a day I don't go hungry anymore
F#m        D                   G             A
Feel in my bones just what the future has in store
 
F#m        A             D           G
I pace in circles so the camera will see
D                                    A             D
Look hard at my stripes, there'll be no more after me
 
[Verse]
D                      G
Laze by the shoreline while the sailors disembark
F#m           D                G                A
Scratch out a place to sit and rest down in the dark
D                       G
Smell something burning downwind just a little ways
F#m         D                 G                  A
They set up camp and sing and sweat and work for days
 
F#m       A               D            G
I have no fear of anyone, I'm dumb and wild and free
D                                       A             D
I am a flightless bird, And there'll be no more after me

[Verse]
D                   G
In Costa Rica, in a burrow underground
F#m          D                 G             A
Climb to the surface, blink my eyes and look around
D                       G
I'm all alone here as I try my tiny song
F#m            D                G                   A
Claim my place beneath the sky, but I won't be here for long
 
F#m        A               D           G
I sang all night, the moon shone on me through the trees
D                                 A             D
No brothers left, and there'll be no more after me
