Verse 1:
D                              Bm
 I'll watch and learn from afar
                            A
I'll pull the weeds from my heart and
                                   G
Put lipstick on for your family party

In the garden
 D                                       Bm
I stare at the house you were brought up in
                                            A
All the photographs and door frames are wooden
                                   G
I wish I'd known you when you were younger

Before lovers

Pre-chorus:
       Bm
'Cause I've changed my accent
     A
And I gave a false name
  G
I hope I throw a party

In a house of my own someday
     Bm
When you were a kid
           A
You'd come in through the back gate
     G
Your folks left a light on

In case you get home late and

Chorus:
D
I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love from silver spoons, reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  G
I bet you grew up being asked how your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
            Bm
But the fall  wasn't fatal like it was for me
             A
We're the product of love that we do not receive
            G
I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree

Verse 2:
D                        Bm
 I spilt the good wine, I  panicked
                           A
a disaster, a kneejerk reaction
                               G
Then everyone around us starts laughing

Is that how it's meant to happen?
D                                Bm
 Oh, your mother said I'm always welcome
                         A
To visit, to take second helpings
                                           G
I said, "No, thanks", I'm so full on resentment

That I learned to fend for myself, but

Pre-chorus:
Bm
You were sweet, I got mean
    A
And when we fight, I refuse to eat
       G
You're sensible, I'm hating it

What a good job that your mother did, oh
Bm
You were kind, I was cruel
    A
In another life, maybe I was you
    G
And I grew up into something good

Somebody who could swallow love

Chorus:
D
I bet you grew up eating at the table
    Bm
Fed love from silver spoons, reasons to be grateful
    A
You ask about kids, I don't know if I'm able
  G
I bet you grew up being asked how your day was
D
I bet you grew up grazing your knees
            Bm
But the fall  wasn't fatal like it was for me
             A
We're the product of love that we do not receive
            G
I'll corrupt every branch of this family tree

Interlude:
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G
Your love is spreading thin
                     A
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G
Your love is spreading thin
                     A 
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G
Your love is spreading thin
                     A 
But my medicine goes down alright
Bm
Silver spoons and butter knives
       A
Living hand to mouth, I'm getting by
     G
Just feed me love and give it time
              A 
Oh, maybe in another life
