    Am       C        F       Em
As stiff as toys and tall as men
     Am      C        F         Em
And swaying like the wind torn trees
     Am      C       F     Em
She talked about the empty world
      Am        C      B   A#
With eyes like poison birds

Chorus:
     G       F       G    F
She talked about the armies
      G         F        Em
That marched inside her head

How they made her dreams go bad
But oh, how happy she was, how proud she was
To be fighting in the war
In the empty world

Stiff as toys and tall as men
Swaying like the wind torn trees
She talked about the empty world
With eyes like poison birds
