Full length album "What We Lose In The Fire We Gain In The Flood" was set to be released on April 27th, 2010 on Saddle Creek records.

The Mynabirds: Numbers Don't Lie
This was tabbed on a ukulele,
but it should be fine on any other instrument!
Enjoy!
Intro:
E
E Abm
It was always what you said
A E
It would be, and nothing more
E Abm
Through the smoke screens and the pipe dreams
A E
And the blood on the floor
Dbm A E
You say it's black, well it's bound to be black.
Dbm A B
You made up your mind, and you see with that.
A E
Baby, if you wanna be right
A
I will let you be right,
E
I will let you be right.
A E
You know that the numbers don't lie,
A
Oh no, the numbers don't lie;
E
Two wrongs will not make it right.
Repeat Intro
Dbm E
You said, "One and one and one and one is three."
Dbm
But I know my lines and my graphs and my math-
B
Honey, that ain't me.
E Abm
If you want it, you can have it-
A E
All the lines on the cellar floor.
E Abm
Don't mean nothing, just a bad dream-
A E
Even if you think it's more.
Dbm A E
You say it's black, well it's bound to be black.
Dbm A B
You made up your mind, and you see with that.

Baby, if you wanna be right
A
I will let you be right,
E
I will let you be right.
A E
You know that the numbers don't lie,
A
Oh no, the numbers don't lie;
E
Two wrongs will not make it right.
A E
You know that the numbers don't lie,
A
Oh no, the numbers don't lie;
E
Oh no, the numbers don't lie.
A E
You know that the numbers don't lie,
A
Oh no, the numbers don't lie;
E
Oh no, the numbers don't lie.
