Intro Em D A7 C Em D A7 CEm I'm starvin', darlin' D Let me put my lips to something A7 C Let me wrap my teeth around the world Em Start carvin', darlin' D I wanna smell the dinner cooking A7 C I wanna feel the edges start to burnVerse 1:
C A7 Honey, I wanna race you to the table Em D If you hesitate, the gettin' is gone C A7 I won't lie if there's something to be gained Em D There's money to be made, whatever's still to comePre-Chorus
Em Get some D Pull up the ladder when the flood comes A7 Throw enough rope until the legs have swung C Seven new ways that you can eat your young Em Come and get some D Skinning the children for a war drum A7 Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns C It's quicker and easier to eat your young ( Em D A7 C ) ( Em D A7 C )Em You can't buy this fineness D Let me see the heat get to you A7 C Let me watch the dressing start to peel Em It's a kindness, highness D Crumbs are not for everyone A7 C Old and young are welcome to the mealVerse 2:
C A7 Honey, I'm makin' sure the table's made Em D We can celebrate, the good that we've done C A7 I won't lie if there's something still to take Em D There is ground to blame, whatever's still to comePre-Chorus
Em Get some D Pull up the ladder when the flood comes A7 Throw enough rope until the legs have swung C Seven new ways that you can eat your young Em Come and get some D Skinning the children for a war drum A7 Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns C It's quicker and easier to eat your young Final Em D A7 C Em D A7 C
