/ Intro /						|Em|Em|Em|Em 

You have a heart and I have a key			|Em|Em
Lie back and let me unlock you				|Em|Em
Those heathens you hang with down by the sea		|Em|Em
All they want to do is defrock you			|Em|Em
I know a river, where we can dream			|Am|Am
It will swell up, burst its banks, babe, and rock you	|Am|Am|Em|Em|Em|Em 
But if you're gonna dine with them cannibals		|Bm|Bm|C|C
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten	|Bm|Bm|C|C D
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals	|G|G|D|D
And your heart that is bruised but unbeaten		|Em|Em|C
And beating like a drum					|F D |Em|Em|Em|Em 

I will sit like a bird on a fence			|Em|Em
Sing you songs with a happy ending			|Em|Em
Swoop down and tell you that it don't make much sense	|Em|Em
To attack the very thing you're defending		|Em|Em
Didn't I just buy that dress for you ?			|Am|Am
That pink paper pinafore that you keep mending		|Am|Am|Em|Em|Em|Em 
If you're gonna dine with the cannibals			|Bm|Bm|C|C
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten	|Bm|Bm|C|C D
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals	|G|G|D|D
And your heart that is banging and beating		|Em|Em|C
And banging like a gong					|F D|Em|Em|Em
							|F* D*|Em|Em|Em|F* D*

I can see that they've hurt you, dear			|Em|Em
Hre is some moonlight to cloak us			|Em|Em
And I will never desert you here			|Em|Em
Unpetaled among the crocus				|Em|Em
Allow me, my love, to allay your fear			|Am|Am
As I swim, in and out of focus				|Am|Am|Em|Em|Em|Em 
But if you're gonna dine with the cannibals		|Bm|Bm|C|C
Sooner or later, darling, you're gonna get eaten	|Bm|Bm|C|C D
But I'm glad you've come around here with your animals	|G|G|D|D
And your heart that is bruised but bleating		|Em|Em|C
And bleeding like a lamb				|F D|Em|Em|Em
Banging like a gong					|F D|Em|Em|Em
And beating like a drum					|F D|Em|Em|Em
							|F D|Em_
