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

Second Verse
^A Why does ^C#m your world ^A keep burying ^C#m ,
^A Gorging much ^C#m deeper than ^A it's ever been ^C#m ,
^G Rubbing still harder, salt on my ^F# heart,
^G Licking my burns while I grovel in your ^F# dirt.
(Play Chorus)
(Play Riff x2)
Bridge
^F# You pity me with your tasteless gestures,
Gratitude for ^G kind,
But ^F# your bludgeoned, intentioned objectives
Are screwing with ^G my mind, screwing with my ^F# mind.

End with some mucking around on the verse chords.
