D (xx0232@1)                     EYour (022100@1)heart sings like a kettle
           B (x2444x@1)                      DAnd (xx0232@1)your words, they boil away like steam.
       D (xx0232@1)                       EAnd (022100@1)a lie burns long while the truth bites quick,
   B (x2444x@1)                     DA (xx0232@1)heart is built for both it seems.
                      EYou (022100@1)are lonely as a church,
              B (x2444x@1)                  DDespite (xx0232@1)the queuing out your door.

D (xx0232@1)A7 (x02020@1)      G (320003@1)  When the time comes,
D (xx0232@1)  A7 (x02020@1)             G (320003@1)   D (xx0232@1)And rights have been read,
   A7 (x02020@1)         GI (320003@1)think of you often
         D (xx0232@1)    A7 (x02020@1)         GBut (320003@1)for once I meant what I said.

INTRO:

Verse 2:

I was salted by your hunger,
Now you've gone and lost your appetite
And a little bird is every bit as handy in a fight.
I am lonely as a memory
Despite the gathering round the fire.
Aren't you every bird on every wire?

         D (xx0232@1)    A7 (x02020@1)         GBut (320003@1)for once I meant what I said.
