[Intro] Am Em Dsus2 Em Am [Verse 1]
Dsus2    Em               
Drag my tongue across the sand

Am                 
So happy just to crawl across the land

Dsus2     Em              
Soon I'll be the best around

Am            
I'm gonna keep my plunder underground

Dsus2       Em
Hard flesh, cold against the rain

Am               
Dust billowing around my brazen brain

Dsus2   Em
Saw off all my stinking limbs

Am                 
Blood dripping down my sunken monkey chin

[Interlude] Am Em D6 [Verse 2]
Dsus2          Em          Am
Two thumbs, I cross the Rubicon - Slack-jawed, but you'll never be passing it on

Dsus2       Em                 Am
Plug hole, down the drain you go - Your body never made it past the snow

Dsus2   Em                Am
Canine fangs up out my throat - You're bleeding over Eden like a goat

Dsus2          Em                Am
Tall blade, a Triffid in every field - I'm blooming like a fuming human shield
