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
