Hurt Me
Capo 1
Intro
D5 A5 D5 G5 (Repeated several times)

    B5                 D5                            A5 
Oh love is that a vulture don?t tell me it?s a vulture 
                B5
standing beside you.
           D5                        A5
And do you see your own face in his eyes?
                         B5
Do you see him like I do? Oh

         D5                            A5
It used to be that when you said you believed it
                   B5
I would believe it too
           D5                               A5
It used to be that when you said you were leaving
                   G5
I'd want to follow you
 G5                                          
But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs bark
    A5                D5 A5           G5
and I remember, praying at the dinner table
    A5                         D5              G5
For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able.

B5                                  D5
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
                      A5
and you take me to a rooftop and skin me
                                B5
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me?
                 D5                       A5
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
B5        D5                  A5
When the shadow of the moon won't do
B5            D5                 A5
'cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
A5                                          D5                     G5
Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world
G5
still now, i can hear the dogs bark, i can hear the dogs bark

A5               D5      A5        G5
and i remember, praying at the dinner table
   A5                       D5               G5
for you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able
A5                            D5     A5      G5
oh whole cities light up, but nothing can compare to you, baby
    A5             D5         G5
so I stay awake, laying on the dinner table
                    A5
waiting for you to hurt me, come on Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
D5                 G5
come down to the world

A5                                     G5
hurt me, come on Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table.
      A5
and now it's laying on the table
G5
waiting for you, on the table
    A5                                  D5          G5
to carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed 
     A5                               D5                          
and sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
    A5                   B5
and that's the body, i swear that's the body
A5                 D5     A5        G5
i remember, it was laying on the dinner table 
     A5                                   D5     G5
and when you came around, said you'll be doing fine when you're able
   A5                         D5       A5  G5
oh whole cities light up but nothing can compare to you, baby
   A5                D5             G5
so I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.
   A5
oh hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
   G5
oh cut me, cut me, serve me
