[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-
[Interlude]
A A/B A/F# Dsus2 (x3)
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-
