• Difficulty: Intermediate

Verse 1:
D                           Bm
I'll watch and learn from afar
                            A6
I'll pull the weeds from my heart and
                                Gmaj7
Put lipstick on for your family party in the garden
D                           Bm
I stare at the house you were brought up in
                            A6
All the photographs and door frames are wooden
                                Gmaj7
I wish I'd known you when you were younger, before lovers

Pre-Chorus:
      Bm
Cause I've changed my accent
    A
And I gave a false name
  Gmaj7
I hope I throw a party in a house of my own someday
     Bm                         A
When you were a kid, you'd come in through the back gate
     Gmaj7
Your folks left the light on in case you came home late

Chorus:
D
I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love on a silver spoon, reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  Gmaj7
I bet you grew up being asked how your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
        Bm
But the fall wasn’t fatal like it was for me
          A
We’re the product of love that we do not receive
     Gmaj7
I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree

Verse 2:
D                          Bm
I spilled the good wine, I panicked
                          A
A disaster, a knee jerk reaction
                              Gmaj7
And everyone around us starts laughing   Is that how it's meant to happen?
D                               Bm
Oh, your mother said I'm always welcome
                          A
To visit, to takes second helpings
                                    Gmaj7
I said no thanks, I'm so full on resentment that I learnt to fend for myself

Pre-Chorus:
Bm
You were sweet, I got mean
    A
And when we fight, I refuse to eat
       Gmaj7
You’re sensible, I'm hating it - what a good job that your mother did
Bm
You were kind, I was cruel
   A
In another life, maybe I was you
    Gmaj7
And I grew up into something good, somebody who could swallow love

Chorus:
D
I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love on a silver spoon, reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  Gmaj7
I bet you grew up being asked how your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
        Bm
But the fall wasn’t fatal like it was for me
          A
We’re the product of love that we do not receive
     Gmaj7
I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree

Outro:
Bm
Silver Spoons And Butter Knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
   Gmaj7
Your Love Is Spreading Thin
                     A
But My Medicine Goes Down Alright
(x3)
Bm
Silver Spoons And Butter Knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
      Gmaj7
Just feed me love and give it time
   A
Oh maybe in another life
