[Em]
[D] You
[B] have a heart, [D] I have a key, a light that can let me [A] unlock you.
[E]
Seasons you hang with down by the sea, [G] all they [E] wanna do is [G] defrock [E] [Am] you.
[G] And wherever [A]
we [D] can dream, we'll swell up, burst its banks, [E] babe, and rock you.
[Gm] [E]
[Bm]
You're gonna dine with [C] them cannibals, [G] [Bm]
sooner or later, darling, you're gonna [C] get eaten.
[D] [G] But I'm glad you've come around here with [D] your animals.
[Em] And your heart that is bruised, good, [C]
unbeaten, [F] and [D] beating like [E] a truck.
[Em]
[E]
I will sit like a bird on a fence, sing you [A] songs with a happy [Em] ending.
[Bm] [E] Sleep down [Bm] and tell [E] you that it don't [Dm] make much sense to attack the very [E] thing you're [A] defending.
Didn't I just buy that [D] dress for you?
That big [Dm] paper pinafore [G] that [E] you keep in the name.
You're
[Bm]
gonna dine with [C] them cannibals,
[Bm]
sooner or later, darling, you're gonna [C] get eaten.

[E] truck.

I can see that they've hurt you, dear, [B] here is some moonlight to [G]
croak [Dm] us.
[Em]

unpeddled among the [A] croakers.
[G] Allow [D] me, my love, to allay your fear as I swim in and out [E] of the woods.

You're gonna dine with [C] the cannibals,

sooner or later, darling, you're gonna [C] get eaten.

heart that is bruised and [C]
bleeding [F] and beating [D] like [Em] a man.
