_ Life is riddled, like some riddle, with those [Eb] riddle that I [G]
raise on.
[Cm] When the day breaks, and the earth breaks, like some mistake [Bb] all [D] day [Gm] long.
You [D] tell [C] me who can [F] suck a [Cm] god damn, you never get out [G] alive.
[Abm] Don't [Cm] go dreaming, don't go sleeping, on that mustache [Gm] metal.
[F] In the crooked old world, [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ starving in the belly, starving in the belly, starving in [Fm] the belly of a whale.
[Cm] Oh just starving in the belly, starving in the belly, [G] starving in the belly [C] of a whale.
[F] _ [Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Don't take my word, just let sky word, [G] pay the [Eb] dance cost, pay [F] the [Cm] bill.
[G] Sky [Cm] is darkening, don't stop walking, cause the [Gm] caravan moves [F]
[G] on.
You tell [Cm] me who can suck a god damn, you never get out alive.
Don't go dreaming, _ don't go [Ab] sleeping, [Cm] on that mustache [Db] [C] metal.
[Gm] In the crooked old [Cm] world, _ _ _ _ _ _ starving in the belly, starving in the belly, starving in the belly of a whale.
[F] Oh [Cm] just starving in the belly, starving in the belly, starving in the belly of a whale.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Eb] There's _ [Cm] _
old flies, _ there's old flies, at the bottom [G] of the well.
[Gm] _
Be your [Cm] leaven, _ those who love him, _ rest not [Bb] dead here [Eb] as [F] the rain [Gm] falls.
Don't toss the [Ab] poles on a dog of [Cm] exodus, a far away [F] horse of need.
Don't be [Cm] greedy, _ don't be _ [F]
[Fm] needy, [G] if you [Cm] live in hope you're [G] dancing to [F] a terrible tune.
[Cm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Starving in the belly, starving in the belly, starving in the belly of a whale.
Oh just starving in the belly, starving in the belly, starving in the belly of a whale.
