[Intro]

A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x4)

[Verse]

   A                A/B        A/F#        Dsus2
We called off your guard as we entered the yard
       A           A/B      A/F#        Dsus2
to convince you to redirect some of that rage
         A           A/B             A/F#            Dsus2
Because who fed you rocks while they ate their thanksgiving
    A            A/B      A/F#         
and who left you out all alone in their cage.

[Interlude]

A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x2)

[Verse]

          A         A/B     A/F#           Dsus2
And when you were a pup, I watched you so close
           A              A/B       A/F#        Dsus2
you ran straight to the distance allowed by his rope
         A               A/B             A/F#          Dsus2
you got kicked, you got choked, phrases crept up your spine
                 A              A/B       A/F#
when he said "we must keep our bitches in line". 
        A         A/B               A/F#        Dsus2
And on his poker nights he says the same of his wife. 
         A              A/B      A/F#      Dsus2
He's the top dog, pack leader, a true alpha-male.
        A         A/B             A/F#          Dsus2
So make no sudden moves keep your nose from the border.
          A             A/B           A/F#       Dsus2
You move fast. You eat last this side of pecking-order.

[Chorus]

             A             A/B
So why don't you come with me? 
          A/F#        Dsus2             A           A/B           
We've got acres with streams. We won't keep you in cages
         A/F#         Dsus2
make you beg for your treats. 
          A           A/B              A/F#            Dsus2
We won't tell you to heel, though you might need some time to
    A             A/B              A/F#         Dsus2
dig up those old bones your young self left behind.

[Verse]

               A         A/B       A/F#       Dsus2              
You said "Your offer is nice but here should suffice. 
          A                 A/B
Yeah, my younger years were something 
         A/F#      Dsus2           
But that isn't my life. 
           A            A/B
Master is all that I've got.
             A/F#       Dsus2           A            A/B
He keeps me having a purpose, gives me bed, keeps me fed. 
         A/F#           Dsus2     A           A/B   A/F#       Dsus2
And I'm just slightly nervous of what I might do if I were let loose, if I 
A                A/B          A/F#       Dsus2          A           A/B
Caught that mail car, or ate garbage for food. So, as I bare all my teeth 
       A/F#       Dsus2            A      A/B    A/F#
I will ask of you please to just leave."

[Bridge]

           A    A/B   A/F#   Dsus2
Well your heart has spoken.
   A            A/B     A/F#      Dsus2 
I feel you're already house broken.
           A    A/B   A/F#   Dsus2
Well your heart has spoken.
   A            A/B     A/F#    Dsus2 
I feel you're already house-

A A/B A/F#

{Chorus]

       Dsus2       A      A/B          A/F#     Dsus2
Well I made you a hood ornament for an oncoming car
              A               A/B          A/F#        Dsus2
because your bark might seem bad but I'll show you the scars
               A             A/B       A/F#        Dsus2
from when the state sent you over to deliver your teeth
        A             A/B              A/F#             Dsus2
to the heels of your kindred breaking chains from their feet
             A         A/B                    A/F#         Dsus2
and then you wipe your hands clean. Splash of water/paper napkin.
          A             A/B                   A/F#          Dsus2
While the parrots sing headlines, we wear the leash like a fashion.
        A           A/B            A/F#       Dsus2
Try to take out my claws expect a visceral reaction.
        A         A/B           A/F#          Dsus2
Try to muzzle me up, I'll lash out, I'll bite back  

[Outro]
         A  A/B  A/F#  Dsus2
Keep my options open
     A         A/B     A/F#
for fear of becoming house-
