Dinner At Eight Chords by Martha Wainwright

[Bb] _ _ This is the song that I wish I had written.
This is a song that Rufus wrote.
He's written so many songs and so many great songs,
but I guess this is the one that I'm the most envious of, I think. _ _ _ _ _ _ _

No matter how _ strong _ _
_ _ I'm [G] gonna _ _ _ [Cm] take you down with _ one little stone
_ _ [D] I'm gonna break _ _ [Gm] you down and see
what [Em] you're worth, _ what you're really [F] worth to _ [Gm] _ me
_ _ [F] _ _ Dinner _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ at _ _ _ _ eight
was [G]
okay _ before [Cm] the _ toast full of _ [A] gleams
It was [D] _ great _ [Gm] until those old magazines
_ [Em] _ _ _
got us started up _ [Eb] again _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ Actually, _ _ _ _ it [F] was _
[Dm] _ [Gm] probably _ _ [Cm] me _ _ _ _ _ [F] again _ _
_ _ _ _ [Bb] But why is it _ so _ _ _
that [G] I've _ always [Cm] been the _ one [Eb] who must go
[A] _ _
That [D] I've _ _ [Gb] [Gm] always been the [F] one _ [Bb] told to [Em] flee _
When in [Gm] fact you [Eb] were the one _ _ _ [Em] long _ _ _ _ ago
[Eb] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] Actually, _ _ _ _ _ in [F] the [Dm] drifting _ [Gm] _ white [Cm] _ snow
_ _ _ _ _ [F] who left _ _ _ _ [Bb] me _
So _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Eb] put up your _ _ _ _ fist _ _
_ _ _ and I'll put up _ _ _ mine _ _ _
_ No [Db] more running _ away
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
from the [Bb] sin of the crowd
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Eb] God's chosen our _ _ place
Somewhere _ _ [F] near _ [Bb] the end of this _ [Eb] world
_ _ Somewhere _ near _ [Bb] the _ end of our _ lives
_ [G] So daddy, no, [Eb] _ _ don't be _ surprised
_ [Cm] _ _ [D] If I want [Bb] to see the _ tears [E] in your _ eyes
Then I know [Eb] it had to be _ _ _ _ [Em] _ long [E]
ago
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
Actually, _ _ _ [Em] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] in the drifting _ [Gm] _ white _ [Cm] snow
_ _ who [Gm] left _ _
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [Eb] me
_ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
