********
D                                                         G
Muddy and familiar tracks lead into the room where no-one goes,
       Bm       F#     E7
Only I know its true dimensions
  D                                      G
A hotel on a burning shore, derelict and furnished by the war
     Bm     F#   C
That no-one ever mentions

CHORUS
*******
D           G     E7               A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,
F#                             G     D       G           D
Nobody wants to hear about the price you pay,   you're a dog starved.

D                                                   G
Everybody knows their own, stick to their imaginary zones
   Bm       F#   C
To keep the information.
D                                                    G
We only differ from the rat, given a stranger in the pack,
          Bm           F#       C           D
In how we improvise to tear the strips from him.

CHORUS

D           G     E7               A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,
F#                     G     A       G           D
Nobody cares about the price you pay,   you're a dog starved.

           D
Now do you play the beating organ for attention
      G                           D
Or to effect a gerrymander of the soul,
                                        C
You hear the murmuring of mournful incantation
           G               D
Don't re-enrol, don't re-enrol

BRIDGE
*******
G                      D
Today you only have to play along,
G                             D
Or make it seem as though you tried,
G                  D
Or did I ever only play along?  Why would I
                              A
Half an hour of rain, half an hour of sun,
          G                             A
In ode to violence the island sings its uncanny song
          D                  A                         G
and I can only think I don't belong, and is this oblivion,
              A
Is this oblivion

D
And so the pattern will repeat,
                              G
see the same worm at the same sheet,
            Bm            F#      C
where all desires seem to wane or taper.
D
You say no worst, now there is none,
                            G
Look how the palimpsest has won,
           Bm                F#            C     D
how father breaches son like brick through wallpaper

CHORUS
*******
D           G     E7               A
Give it all away, baby give it all away,
F#                             G     D       G           D
Nobody wants to hear about the price you pay,   you're a dog starved.
D           G     E7                      A
Give it all away, I've got to give it all away,
F#                      G     G          D
I've got to give it all away, Just a dog starved.
