[Verse]
Em C G G Gmaj7
Heya Tom, it’s Bob From the office down the hall
Em C D
Good to see you buddy, how’ve you been?
C Em Em7 A7
Things have been OK for me except that I’m a zombie now
D
I really wish you’d let us in
C G B7 Em
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
C G B7 Em
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demands
C Cm
But here’s an FYI: you’re all gonna die screaming
[Chorus]
G D C D
All we want to do is eat your brains
G D C
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no-one’s gonna eat your
eyes
G D C D
All we want to do is eat your brains
Em Bm C (C/B C C/B C C/B)
We’re at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
C C/B Am
If you open up the doors
C C/B C D G
We’ll all come inside and eat your brains
[Verse]
Em C G GCmaj7
I don’t want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Em C D
To spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
C Em Em7 A7
Maybe that’s OK for now but someday you’ll be out of food and guns
D
And then you’ll have to make the call
C G B7 Em
I’m not surprised to see you haven’t thought it through enough
C G B7 Em
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
C Cm
But Tom, that’s what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly
[Chorus]
G D C D
All we want to do is eat your brains
G D C(C/B C C/B C C/B)
We’re not unreasonable, I mean, no-one’s gonna eat your eyes

I’d like to help you Tom, in any way I can
G#m D#
I sure appreciate the way you’re working with me
A# G#dim Cm
I’m not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
G
I guess I am
[Verse]
Em C G G Gmaj7
I’ve got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
Em C D
I know we’ll get to common ground somehow
C (xx3434) Em Em7 A7
Meanwhile I’ll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
D
I guess we’ll table this for now
C G B7 Em
I’m glad to see you take constructive criticism well
C G B7 Em
Thank you for your time I know we’re all busy as hell
C Cm
And we’ll put this thing to bed when I bash your head open
[Chorus]
