[Intro] B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# [Verse 1]
    B         C#m              B        C#m
You might not remember how we sleep in the past

B    C#m     E             G G#
I'll soon remind you when

  B       C#m                B        C#m
I cut off the hand that was promised to me

B   C#m         E           G G#
And then we'll shake on it

      B          C#m                B        C#m
Those stains you can't hide or the smell of his sweat

    B       C#m   E     G G#
Are they so permanent?

        B            C#m
Did you scratch your left eye?

       B     C#m
Did it blink three times?

   B    C#m      E            G G#
Or once just to reel you in?

          B       C#m              B     C#m
On your blackened breath, did he smell of us

   B     C#m E             G G#
To taste of poison sweets

B             C#m        B      C#m
  I've got to rid the world of your intentions

           B   C#m     E         G G#
wrapped to cut like a stuck pig
[Chorus]
    B    C#m
And give me that flesh please

    B   C#m
The one that talks like me

  B   C#m         E
I really want it now

      B   C#m
Baby, put it on slowly

  B    C#m
I want you to show me
B C#m
E                       C#m       G G# B C
  Does it make you feel alright?
[Interlude] B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# [Verse 2]
B      C#m       B    C#m                     B  C#m E           G G#
When I peeked inside your room through that rusty bitten lock

B     C#m            B    C#m             B      C#m    E        G G#
  You sank a nail inside of me that was twenty years too long

          B             C#m             B   C#m
The black stockades you kept, smell of wet cigarette

        B    C#m         E               G G#
And the sweat that just would not cease

B C#m            B   C#m
I have been for far too long

        B        C#m   E             G G#
Just to keep you here on this leash

        B       C#m
For the rest of your debt

         B          C#m
'Cause I knew you'd forget

        B     C#m     E                 G G#
I throw ashes at the bones of your feet

B     C#m                   B    C#m
  Now that you slay with a pack of strays

       B            C#m      E             G G#
I do believe you're not the mongrel for me
[Chorus]
    B    C#m
And give me that flesh please

    B   C#m
The one that talks like me

  B   C#m         E
I really want it now

      B   C#m
Baby, put it on slowly

  B    C#m
I want you to show me
B C#m
E                       C#m       G G# B C
  Does it make you feel alright?
[Interlude] B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# B C#m B C#m B C#m E G G# [Chorus]
    B    C#m
And give me that flesh please

    B   C#m
The one that talks like me

  B   C#m         E
I really want it now

      B   C#m
Baby, put it on slowly

  B    C#m
I want you to show me
