[Primeira Parte]
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
[Pré-Refrão]
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
[Refrão]
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
[Segunda Parte]
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
[Pré-Refrão]
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
[Refrão]
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
[Ponte]
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
