First Verse
A C#m A C#m
Why do I sense benevolence,
A C#m A C#m
You stand tall at my great expense,
G F#
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay,
G F#
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say.
Chorus (w/ fig 1)
N.C. A
But I don't want your charity,
C#m A
Twisting me round.
C#m A
I don't want your charity,
Csus2
Keeping me down.
(Play Riff x4)
Second Verse

Why does your world keep burying,
A C#m A C#m
Gorging much deeper than it's ever been,
G F#
Rubbing still harder, salt on my heart,
G F#
Licking my burns while I grovel in your dirt.
(Play Chorus)

G
Gratitude for kind,
F#
But your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
G F#
Are screwing with my mind, screwing with my mind.
