And The Snakes Start To Sing (acoustic)

	  		
 



Em G Asus2 (actually you just repeat these three chords) 

     Em 
I've lost the plot again.  
G                     Asus2               Em 
Tell your friends to sharpen their teeth  
                          G     Asus2 
There's a few quid to be made...  
        Em 
And my soul's a sorry state,  
    G                Asus2 
So come on down you empty lovers.  
Em                     G 
Worms come out of the woodwork,  
          Asus2 
And the snakes start to sing. 

Em G Asus2 

       Em 
Do you feel the chill,  
G               Asus2 
Clawing at the back of your neck?  
     Em 
And start to spill.  
          G                          Asus2 
Did you really think that you could fix me?  
         Em                   G             Asus2 
They'll sell your bones for another roll.  
       Em 
Well sharpen your teeth.  
G                  Asus2 
Tell yourself that it's just business.  


Em                     G      Asus2 
Worms come out of the woodwork.  
Em                           G     Asus2 
Leeches crawl from out of the dirt.  
Em                      G         Asus2 
Rats climb out of the holes they call home.  
Em                    G 
And I fall apart;  
           Asus2 
And the snakes start to sing.  


     Em 
Don't say I'm better off dead,  
    G                  Asus2 
Cos heaven's full and hell won't have me.  
Em                               G      Asus2 
Won't you make some room in your bed?  
                Em                            
Well you could lock me up in your heart  
     G                   Asus2 
And throw away the key.  
Em                          G      Asus2 
Won't you take me out of my head? 
           Em 
I'm just a would have been, could have been,  
                 G             Asus2 
Should have been, never was and never ever will be.  
      Em 
Well sharpen your teeth.  
G                   Asus2 
Tell yourself that it's just business.  
Em 
Would have been, could have been, should have been  
G                Asus2 
Never was, and never ever will be.  
Em                       G 
Worms come out of the woodwork,  
        Asus2 
And the snakes start to sing. 


Em                       G      Asus2 
Worms come out of the woodwork.  
Em                            G   Asus2 
Leeches crawl from out of the dirt.  
Em                      G         Asus2 
Rats climb out of the holes they call home.  
Em                  G 
And I fall apart;  
         Asus2 
And the snakes start to sing.  


        Em            
"If you can't soar with the eagles,  
     G                   Asus2 
Then don't fly with the flock."  
Em                     G    Asus2 
Are you still getting high?  
         Em          
Did you catch your own reflection,  
        G               Asus2 
In the knife my Mother held?  
      Em                   G    Asus2 
Or the hell in my Father's eyes? 
         Em         
"If you can't soar with the eagles,  
      G                  Asus2 
Then don't fly with the flock."  
Em                    G    Asus2 
Are you still getting by?  
            Em 
Was I your knight in shining armour,  
     G            Asus2 
The apple of your eye?  

Em                         G     Asus2 
Or just another step to climb? 


         Em 
"If you can't soar with the eagles,  
      G                   Asus2 
Then don't fly with the flock."  
Em                      G    Asus2 
Are you still getting high?  
        Em         
Did you catch your own reflection,  
       G                Asus2 
In the knife my Mother held?  
       Em                   G      Asus2 
Or the hell in my Father's eyes? 
         Em    
"If you can't soar with the eagles,  
       G                Asus2 
Then don't fly with the flock."  
Em                    G    Asus2 
Are you still getting by?  
           Em 
Was I your knight in shining armour?  
    G                   Asus2 
The apple of your eye? 
Em                                G              Asus2 
Or just another step, a fucking step to climb!
