Cannibals by Absent Elk

E
Where he grew up, the doors were locked

G#m
And no one ever knew

A                                  E
What went on behind those wooden walls

                                    B
The place that he called home


The quiet type, tainted eyes
He paid for being kind
Most aren't when he'll never speak his mind
To say, "I watch the days go by"

Chorus x2:

A                            E       B
Keep the cannibals away from me

A                            E        B
Keep the cannibals away

Come this way someone say 
From down behind the crowd
Begging through the arrogance 
And a ray between the clouds

He found his love in an empty cup
He worked his own way up 
Everybody's out to get a cut
A bite of shameless and polite

Chorus x2:
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away

C#m
Why would I roll up my sleeves

B
For you to take it all from me?

A          E
I'll say it clear

F#m                     B
There's nothing for you here

C#m
Oh, I should I get on my knees

B
For you to shake the rocking trees

A           E
I've heard it all

F#m                                               B
That double talk, and your smile, just wipe it off

Chorus to end:
Keep the cannibals away from me
Keep the cannibals away
