C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 A minorAm G+G


Verse 1:
   C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
That unforgiving pulse again
  A minorAm        G+G
My sick pig-head companion
 C majorC        Fmaj7Fmaj7
As much a rotten part of me
  A minorAm        G+G
As forgotten twin or shadow?
   C majorC         Fmaj7Fmaj7
Fur bristles with the fever
   A minorAm        G+G
His kick drum pulses quicken
    C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Him a specter. Me spectator
   A minorAm        G+G
I'm caught inside his tow

Chorus:
   A minorAm     Fmaj7Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
        C majorC
Pull out his teeth?
     G+G
Or file down his claws?
   A minorAm       Fmaj7Fmaj7
You know as well as I
       C majorC
No freedom lies
       G+G
Between his pearly jaws
   A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
God, what am I to say?
      C majorC
As if his name
        G+G
Gives me some holy power
   A minorAm
For what I've done
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
I know that even Christ's communion
 G+G
Wine goes sour

Verse 2:
  C majorC        Fmaj7Fmaj7
O brother Id, you own me
  A minorAm        G+G
O father Id, you're all I am
  C majorC         Fmaj7Fmaj7
O reverend Id, please wipe
       A minorAm      G+G
That endless toothy smirk away
   C majorC      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Red letters on my eyelids
   A minorAm      G+G
On every gristle, bone or cell
   C majorC       Fmaj7Fmaj7
The one command for self
    A minorAm   G+G
Presses me to obey


Chorus:
   A minorAm     Fmaj7Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
        C majorC
Pull out his teeth?
     G+G
Or file down his claws?
   A minorAm       Fmaj7Fmaj7
You know as well as I
       C majorC
No freedom lies
       G+G
Between his pearly jaws
   A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
God, what am I to say?
      C majorC
As if his name
        G+G
Gives me some holy power
   A minorAm
For what I've done
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
I know that even Christ's communion
 G+G
Wine goes sour

And what am I to do?

God, what am I to say?


Chorus:
   A minorAm     Fmaj7Fmaj7
And what am I to do?
        C majorC
Pull out his teeth?
     G+G
Or file down his claws?
   A minorAm       Fmaj7Fmaj7
You know as well as I
       C majorC
No freedom lies
       G+G
Between his pearly jaws
   A minorAm      Fmaj7Fmaj7
Oh, what am I to say?
      C majorC
As if his name
        G+G
Gives me some holy power
   A minorAm
For what I've done
  Fmaj7Fmaj7     C majorC
I know that even Christ's communion
