Verse: 1 
C7             F 
You tasted the porridge 
C                                      F 
And ran before the grizzlies took your life 
C                 F 
But you tried to ignore it 
                          C               F 
The yen that wreathes the corners of your mind?

Bb               Gm 
All you said you wanted 
         F 
Was some time alone to look over the Treaty of Versailles 
Bb                 C 
But all you really wanted 
      F 
Was a 9 to 5 
           C            F  C  F 
To pay the bills on time 


Verse: 2 
C7                F 
You dug from the storage 
C                                   F 
A tapestry that could not weave to scale 
C                        F 
Your shoes stuck to the mortgage 
     C                             F 
Like zebra muscles sticking to the shale (shale!)
