Verse 1:
FF    C majorC      G+G         A minorAm
 Little Beast, tied up right where we left you.
     FF        C majorC      G+G     G+G
When the summers and the winters came
FF      C majorC        G+G           A minorAm
 that silly leash was never strong enough to hold you.
    FF       C majorC       G+G     G+G
We just all agreed to play this game.

Verse 2:
FF         C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
 And you'd never know by the eyes you give a stranger
      FF      C majorC      G+G     G+G
but you are dangerous as all-get-out.
FF        C majorC        G+G         A minorAm
 Your favourite treat is not the rarest but the the rawest
     FF      C majorC       G+G     G+G
you will feast upon a heart and die.

Chorus:
A minorAm    FF     C majorC        G+G
 But we know we're not supposed to feed you
A minorAm          FF          C majorC    G+G
 'cause we need that struggle like a hole  in the head.
A minorAm      FF          C majorC        G+G
 And we fall asleep as though we can not hear you howling
  A minorAm        FF         C majorC        G+G     G+G
but every night we've heard every single word you've said.

Verse 3:
FF    C majorC     G+G        A minorAm
 Little beast, how long can you survive this,
    FF        C majorC      G+G     G+G
it's a question we have begged before?
FF      C majorC        G+G      A minorAm
 Never too near, are you a burden or a beacon?
  FF         C majorC       G+G     G+G
Do you need us? Do we need you more?

Verse 4:
FF        C majorC      G+G        A minorAm
 And there are nights your coat is looking ragged
    FF        C majorC      G+G     G+G
and you have a look when our eyes meet.
     FF      C majorC     G+G        A minorAm
You say, "I was born beside you, you have always known me,
FF        C majorC   G+G     G+G
get me off this goddam street.

End-Chorus:
A minorAm    FF     C majorC        G+G
 But we know we're not supposed to love you.
A minorAm     FF          C majorC        G+G
 Heaven's above! You know what would come next.
A minorAm      FF       C majorC          G+G
 There is no match for the tug-of-war you're winning,
   A minorAm           FF        C majorC     G+G     G+G
your strength must have been penned inside a holy text.

Verse 5:
FF    C majorC      G+G         A minorAm
 Little Beast, tied up right where we left you
     FF        C majorC      G+G     G+G
when the winters and the summers came.
FF      C majorC        G+G        A minorAm
 That silly leash was never strong enough to hold you,
    FF       C majorC       G+G
we just all agreed to play this game.
