the first time I've sent anything to
 you, so i hope I'm doing it
right.  The spacing may not appear 
right as I send this to you, it
was written in New Courier font, I 
think.  If there is a better way
to write tab please reply.

There is no form of timing shown in 
this, so listen to the record.

First Verse

  A      C#m     A           C#m
  Why do I sense benevolence,

  A         C#m        A  
  You stand tall at my great 
           C#m
expense,

  G                                
  Thick words of gratitude, what a 
         F#
price to pay,

  G                                
  Stuck in my throat, I sell every 
       F#
word I say.

Chorus (w/ fig 1)

  N.C.                  A
  But I don't want your charity,

C#m           A
  Twisting me round.

C#m                 A
  I don't want your charity,

Csus2
  Keeping me down.

Second Verse

  A        C#m        A           
  Why does your world keep 
C#m
burying,

  A            C#m         A     
  Gorging much deeper than it's 
        C#m
ever been,

  G                                
  Rubbing still harder, salt on my 
F#
heart,

  G                                
  Licking my burns while I grovel 
       F#
in your dirt.

(Play Riff x2)

Bridge

  F#
  You pity me with your tasteless 
gestures,

                G
  Gratitude for kind,

      F#
  But your bludgeoned, intentioned 
objectives

                    G       
  Are screwing with my mind, 
                  F#
screwing with my mind.
