Capo: 3rd fret

[Intro]
Em D A7 C
Em D A7 C

[Verse 1]
Em
I’m starvin’, darlin’
D
Let me put my lips to something
A7 C
Let me wrap my teeth around the world
Em
Start carvin’, darlin’
D
I wanna smell the dinner cooking
A7 C
I wanna feel the edges start to burn

[Pre-Chorus]
C A7
Honey, I wanna race you to the table
Em D
If you hesitate, the gettin’ is gone
C A7
I won’t lie if there’s something to be gained
Em D
There’s money to be made, whatever’s still to come

[Chorus]
Em
Get some
D
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
A7
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
C
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Em
Come and get some
D
Skinning the children for a war drum
A7
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
C
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young

[Post-Chorus Instrumental]
Em D A7 C
Em D A7 C

[Verse 2]
Em
You can’t buy this fineness
D
Let me see the heat get to you
A7 C
Let me watch the dressing start to peel
Em
It’s a kindness, highness
D
Crumbs are not for everyone
A7 C
Old and young are welcome to the meal

[Pre-Chorus]
C A7
Honey, I’m makin’ sure the table’s made
Em D
We can celebrate, the good that we’ve done
C A7
I won’t lie if there’s something still to take
Em D
There is ground to blame, whatever’s still to come

[Chorus]
Em
Get some
D
Pull up the ladder when the flood comes
A7
Throw enough rope until the legs have swung
C
Seven new ways that you can eat your young
Em
Come and get some
D
Skinning the children for a war drum
A7
Putting food on the table selling bombs and guns
C
It’s quicker and easier to eat your young
