INTRO: F C F C/G F C G
F C
Starve the dog
F C F
Pulling at his chain
C G
He'll bare his teeth at you if you look his way
F C
Leave him there
F C F
Don't you dare set him free
C G F C F G
Just 'cause you think that you remember how sweet he used to be
CHORUS:
C G Am G
Know your blood to know yourself
Am Em
Put what you want on the farthest shelf
C G Am C G
Pull your hand back, you can walk away
N.C. F C F C/G F C G
Hey, please don't forget to starve the dog today
F C
I saw your dad
F C F
When he fed the same beast

You swore and swore, "That'll never be me"
F C
I saw your hands
F C F C
And the way they would shake
G
All of my love couldn't hold that chain
CHORUS:
Em C G Am G
Know your blood to know yourself
Am Em
Put what you want on the farthest shelf
C G Am C G
Pull your hand back, you can walk away

Hey, please don't forget to starve the dog__ today__
BRIDGE:
E7
Oh, it seems so easy
Am
Like it's just a taste or something

Like you won't destroy your family
C G
Like you can feed him, oh, so casually this time
N.C. F C F C F C G C G
This time
F C
Day by day
F C F
As you hold back the chain
C G
There are three things I will pray
F C F C
That you'll see yourself more clearly
F C F C
That I'll forgive you more dearly
F C F C G
That I might know the very same blood we share
CHORUS:

Pull your hand back, you can walk away
