Courtney Barnett Small Poppies Lyrics

Intro: |G Daug|Gmaj7 Daug|G6 Daug|G Daug|
Verse 1:
I stare at the lawn it's Wednesday morning
It needs a cut but I'll leave it growing
All different sizes and all shades of green
Slashing it down just seems kinda mean
Bridge: |G5 |G Daug|G Daug|
Verse 2:
In a way it's a shame
You get away thinking it's just a game
Who am I to deny myself a pawn for you to use?
At the end of the day
It's a pain that I keep seeing your name
But I'm sure it's a bore being you
Bridge: |G5 |G Daug|G Daug|
Chorus:
I don't know quite who I am
Oh but man I am trying
I make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye
For an eye for an eye
I don't agree with that
Why can't we just talk nice?
Solo: |G Daug|x4
Verse 3:
Oh the calamity
I wanna go to sleep for an eternity...
Who am I to deny myself a pawn?
Oh the humanity
I wanna disappear into obscurity...
But I'm sure it's a bore being you
Bridge: |G5 |G Daug|G Daug|
Chorus:
I don't know quite who I am
Oh but man I am trying
I make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye
For an eye for an eye
I used to hate myself but now I think I'm alright
Solo: |G Daug|x12
Chorus:
I don't know quite who I am
Oh but man I am trying
I make mistakes until I get it right
An eye for an eye
For an eye for an eye
I dreamed I stabbed you with a coat hanger wire
Solo: |G Daug|x12
Outro: |G Daug|x16 G
