Intro: D A D G Bm D A Oh love is that a vulture don’t tell me it’s a vulture Bm standing beside you. D A And do you see your own face in his eyes? Bm Do you see him like I do? Oh D A It used to be that when you said you believed it Bm I would believe it too D A It used to be that when you said you were leaving G I'd want to follow you G But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs bark A D A G and I remember, praying at the dinner table A D G For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able. Bm D Now I've a dream of you with half a face A and you take me to a rooftop and skin me Bm Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me? D A And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark Bm D A When the shadow of the moon won't do Bm D A 'cause on you, the moon is but a pearl A D G Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world G still now, i can hear the dogs bark, i can hear the dogs bark A D A G and i remember, praying at the dinner table A D G for you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able A D A G oh whole cities light up, but nothing can compare to you, baby A D G so I stay awake, laying on the dinner table A waiting for you to hurt me, come on Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me D G come down to the world A G hurt me, come on Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table. A and now it's laying on the table G waiting for you, on the table A D G to carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed A D and sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before A Bm and that's the body, i swear that's the body A D A G i remember, it was laying on the dinner table A D G and when you came around, said you'll be doing fine when you're able A D A G oh whole cities light up but nothing can compare to you, baby A D G so I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table. A oh hurt me, hurt me, hurt me G oh cut me, cut me, serve me
