                     A
You put salt in the wound
       D           A
And a kiss on my cheek
    Bm        F#m
You butter me up
         D           A
And you sit down to eat
          D       A
You add insult to injury
     D         A
You say you believe in me
        Bm         F#m
But you haven’t decided
       D         A
About taking or leaving me

Chorus:
        Gmaj7
But you take and you take
      D            A
Like silks up my sleeve
     Gmaj7                        D  A
Tied corner to corner, never ending
Gmaj7                F#m
Trick after trick, I make the magic
    E                  D           A
And you unrelentingly ask for the secret

              A
Neck full of mockingbirds
     D             A
All calling your name
Bm         F#m
I tried to sing it all back
                     C               G
Like I heard it, it don’t sound the same
     D            A
I’m gnashing my teeth
        D         A
Like a child of Cain
Bm  F#m                             D           A
If this is a prison I’m willing to buy my own chain

Chorus

      A                 Gmaj7              D 
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
      A             Gmaj7             D 
They say the finish line is in your sights
      A                Gmaj7                 D 
What they don’t say is what's on the other side
      A                 Gmaj7               D 
They say the hearts and minds are on your side
