Chords

[Intro] 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                          A7
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    A7/B
In great mountains, on our plates

         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
[Instrumental] G D C [Verse 3]
         Em              G
Mindless need is loosed among us

       D                   Am    Am/B
In our homes and down our streets

        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                A7
And all of this at very competitive rates
[Chorus]
Em    G   D    Am
Baby, it accumulates

Em    G   D    A7
Baby, it accumulates

Em        Am   Em
Baby, it accumulates
[Instrumental] D C# C Em D C# C Am Em [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
[Outro] D C# C Em D C# C Am Em
