Accumulates

Em


[Verse 1]
         Em           G
Well, it grips and it grins
     D              Am   Am/B
It cavorts and it gyrates
       C                 G
And it whispers from the wings
       D      A7    A7/B
Knowingly insinuates
         C                Em
Shines a certain light on things
     D                         
Emphasising your least likeable

traits


[Chorus]
Em    G   D    Am
Baby, it accumulates
Em        Am   Em
Baby, it accumulates


[Verse 2]
       Em             G
In the depots, in the silos
       D               Am    Am/B
On the pallets, in the crates
         C                G
Down the aisles, wreathed in smiles
         D                 A7    
In great mountains, on our plates
A7/B

         C            Em
Like the love of God, it enters you
       D                   A7
In all kinds of amorphous states


[Chorus]

Em    G   D    Am
Baby, it accumulates
Em        Am   Em
Baby, it accumulates

[Verse 3]
         Em              G
Mindless need is loosed among us
       D                   Am    
In our homes and down our streets
Am/B

        C                G
Singing like some mythic creature
         D                  A7
Of great Edеns, through the gates
            A7/B        C
And you can have bеtter suction
               G
Even wanton destruction
                   D               
And all of this at very competitive
 A7
 rates


[Chorus]
Em    G   D    Am
Baby, it accumulates
Em    G   D    A7
Baby, it accumulates
Em        Am   Em
Baby, it accumulates

[Verse 4]
                      Em
Looking down from the highrise
                       G
Staring back with your own eyes
                       D
Playing games with the numbers
                        Am
Messing 'round with the dates
    Am/B       C
Altering its positions
                     G
Muttering sweet propositions
                       D
Doing its damnedest to get you
            A7    A7/B
Between the sheets
               C
And you might start out
             Em
Kicking and screaming
                         D
Pretty soon you’re gonna wind up
               A7
Sucking on the teats


[Chorus]
        Em    G   D    Am
'Cause, baby, it accumulates
Em    G   D    A7
Baby, it accumulates
Em        Am   Em
Baby, it accumulates
