Silver Spoon

[First Part]

D                             Bm
 I'll watch and learn from afar
                            A6
I'll pull the weeds from my heart and
                                G7M
Put lipstick on for your family party
In the garden
D                                     Bm
I stare at the house you were brought up in
                                        A6
All the photographs and door frames are wooden
                                   G7M
I wish I'd known you when you were younger

Before lovers

[Pre-Chorus]

       Bm
'Cause I've changed my accent
    A
And I gave a false name
  G7M
I hope I throw a party
In a house of my own some day
     Bm
When you were a kid
           A
You'd come in through the back gate
     G7M
Your folks left the light on

In case you get home late

[Chorus]

    D
And I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love from silver spoons

Reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  G7M
I bet you grew up being asked

How your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
        Bm
But the fall wasn't fatal

Like it was for me
Continues after the ad
          A
We're the product of love

That we do not receive
     G7M
I'll corrupt every branch

Of this family tree

[Second Part]

D                         Bm
 I spilt the good wine, I panicked
                           A6
A disaster, a knee-jerk reaction
                               G7M
Then everyone around us starts laughing

Is that how it's meant to happen?
D                                Bm
 Oh, your mother said I'm always welcome
                         A6
To visit, to take second helpings

I said, "No, thanks"
                 G7M
I'm so full on resentment

That I learned to fend for myself but

[Pre-Chorus]

Bm
You were sweet, I got mean
    A
And when we fight, I refuse to eat
       G7M
You're sensible, I'm hating it

What a good job that your mother did
   Bm
Oh,you were kind, I was cruel
     A
In another life, maybe I was you
    G7M
And I grew up into something good

Somebody who could swallow love, oh

[Chorus]

    D
And I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love from silver spoons

Reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  G7M
I bet you grew up being asked

How your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
        Bm
But the fall wasn't fatal

Like it was for me
          A
We're the product of love

That we do not receive
     G7M
I'll corrupt every branch

Of this family tree

[Bridge]

Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G7M
Your love is spreading thin
                     A
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G7M
Your love is spreading thin
                     A
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G7M
Your love is spreading thin
                     A
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G7M
Just feed me love and give it time
    A
Oh, maybe in another life
