      A minorAm           C majorC
They found two dogs hung from electrical pylons,
G+G          E minorEm
by their hind legs just down from my road.
   A minorAm                C majorC
You slit their bellies open left the knife inside,
     G+G               E minorEm
they'd ripped off our collars, we had nowhere to hide.

         A minorAm
Do you feel the sweat drip?
          C majorC
Wake up when your hearts skips.
        G+G               E minorEm
4am you're screaming, 'Mother, swear I am a good kid'.
         A minorAm
I lean across to take the wheel,
             C majorC
whilst so far blisters form and heal,
          G+G                E minorEm
compose a mental list of subtle ways to broach the point again.

FF
Take my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
A minorAm
Too many flesh suppers,

Too many scents linger.
FF           G+G
Take my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
FF     A minorAm
Too many flesh suppers,
FF     E minorEm
Too many scents linger.

A minorAm          C majorC
You take the bed and I'll take the floor,
G+G                E minorEm
I'll block the draft that comes under the door.
A minorAm            C majorC
You take the sheets and I'll wrap in clothes,
G+G       E minorEm
I overpack to keep out the cold.

FF
Take my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
A minorAm
Too many flesh suppers,

Too many scents linger.
FF           G+G
Take my callous hand,sink these bloody fingers,
FF     A minorAm
Too many flesh suppers,
FF     E minorEm
Too many scents linger.

C majorC                  FF
I plunge my hand deep like child scraping around jam jar,
C majorC              A minorAm        FF
Unwieldy as teenagers reach below his lover's belt line.
   C majorC              FF
The power that I felt, when you looked me in the eye,
        C majorC              A minorAm     FF
And said 'I promise boy, I'll never let you see me cry'.

   C majorC                   FF
You don't pay back the debt you owe your parents for birth,
C majorC            A minorAm
by giving Grandkids in return.
   FF    G+G DmDm
You watch them die.
C majorC            FF
Through your declining eyes.
    G+G        DmDm
My clandestine, broken cage,
C majorC                   A minorAm    FF
we'll keep them secret, 'cause there's no other way.


You ripped off my flesh and my heart gripped the ribs like a prisoner.
