Em
If you were there, beware
                  C
The serpent soul pinchers
       Em                                         C
Three hundred and fifty no thank yous and nobody flinches
   Em
Go on girl go on, give us something gruesome
      C
We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves
            Em
As they're trying to rob the words from her gob and
          C
Take the source of the innocents

If you were there, beware the serpent soul pinchers
Can't you sense she was never meant to fill column inches
Ain't you had enough? What you're trying to dig up
Isn't there to be dug; the thieves help the thugs
As they're trying to beat the good grace of a sweetheart
Out to the point she'll comply

And why leave her on her own?
If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why leave her on her own?
If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it
I wouldn't have said it if I would have known

          Em        D#         Em         D#          Em  D# Em D#
There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are
     Em          D#             Em           D#          Em D# Em D#
Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far
         Em          D#           Em  D#
I don't know what it is that they want
         Em          D#           Em
I don't know what it is that they want
    D#        Em        D#   Em
But I haven't got it to give
D#         Em        D#   Em
She hasn't got it to give
