[Intro]

A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x4)

[Verse]

   A                A/B        
We called off your guard as we 
A/F#        Dsus2
entered the yard
       A           A/B      A/F# 
to convince you to redirect some 
       Dsus2
of that rage
         A           A/B          
Because who fed you rocks while 
   A/F#            Dsus2
they ate their thanksgiving
    A            A/B      A/F#
and who left you out all alone in 
their cage.

[Interlude]

A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x2)

[Verse]

          A         A/B     A/F# 
And when you were a pup, I 
          Dsus2
watched you so close
           A              A/B  
you ran straight to the distance 
     A/F#        Dsus2
allowed by his rope
         A               A/B  
you got kicked, you got choked, 
           A/F#          Dsus2
phrases crept up your spine
                 A            
when he said "we must keep our 
  A/B       A/F#
bitches in line".
        A         A/B             
And on his poker nights he says 
  A/F#        Dsus2
the same of his wife.
         A              A/B      
He's the top dog, pack leader, a 
A/F#      Dsus2
true alpha-male.
        A         A/B             
So make no sudden moves keep your 
A/F#          Dsus2
nose from the border.

          A             A/B    
You move fast. You eat last this 
       A/F#       Dsus2
side of pecking-order.

Cadd9 Dsus2

[Chorus]

             A             A/B
So why don't you come with me?
          A/F#        Dsus2    
We've got acres with streams. We 
         A           A/B
won't keep you in cages
         A/F#         Dsus2
make you beg for your treats.
          A           A/B         
We won't tell you to heel, though 
     A/F#            Dsus2
you might need some time to
    A             A/B           
dig up those old bones your young 
   A/F#         Dsus2
self left behind.

[Verse]

               A         A/B   
You said "Your offer is nice but 
    A/F#       Dsus2
here should suffice.
          A                
Yeah, my younger years were 
 A/B
something
         A/F#      Dsus2
But that isn't my life.
           A            A/B
Master is all that I've got.
             A/F#       Dsus2     
He keeps me having a purpose, 
      A            A/B
gives me bed, keeps me fed.
         A/F#           Dsus2  
And I'm just slightly nervous of 
   A           A/B   A/F#       
what I might do if I were let 
Dsus2
loose, if I
A                A/B          
Caught that mail car, or ate 
A/F#       Dsus2          A     
garbage for food. So, as I bare 
      A/B
all my teeth
       A/F#       Dsus2        
I will ask of you please to just 
    A      A/B    A/F#
leave."

[Bridge]

           A    A/B   A/F#   Dsus2
Well your heart has spoken.
   A            A/B     A/F#      
I feel you're already house 
Dsus2
broken.
           A    A/B   A/F#   Dsus2
Well your heart has spoken.
   A            A/B     A/F#    
I feel you're already house-
Dsus2


[Interlude]

A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x3)

A A/B A/F#

{Chorus]

       Dsus2       A      A/B    
Well I made you a hood ornament 
      A/F#     Dsus2
for an oncoming car
              A               A/B 
because your bark might seem bad 
         A/F#        Dsus2
but I'll show you the scars
               A             A/B  
from when the state sent you over 
     A/F#        Dsus2
to deliver your teeth
        A             A/B  
to the heels of your kindred 
            A/F#             Dsus2
breaking chains from their feet
             A         A/B        
and then you wipe your hands 
            A/F#         Dsus2
clean. Splash of water/paper napkin.
          A             A/B       
While the parrots sing headlines, 
            A/F#          Dsus2
we wear the leash like a fashion.
        A           A/B         
Try to take out my claws expect a 
   A/F#       Dsus2
visceral reaction.
        A         A/B           
Try to muzzle me up, I'll lash 
A/F#          Dsus2
out, I'll bite back

[Otro]
         A  A/B  A/F#  Dsus2
Keep my options open
     A         A/B     A/F#
for fear of becoming house-
