[G][Em]

[Verse 1]
[B5]Portrait [Em]of
a family force-fed [G]through through tunnel [Em]straws
Singing [A]cannibal [Em]hymns of
the [G]bour[D]geoisie
[Em]There's [B5]a narc on every co[Em]rner,
knock-knock-knock on [G]on on every [Em]door
With a [A]homemade [Em]remedy to
[G]loosen [D]every [Em]tongue

[Verse 2]
How many [Em]bites do you think it takes
[G]to get to the cyanide tooth?
[C]Brace yourself, my [D]darling
[A]Brace yourself,
my [B5]love
[Em][G][Em][A][Em]

[Verse 3]
[G]
[Em]Smug[B5]gled in th[Em]eir faith
like an [G]orbit [Em]in decay
Drools the [A]cloying adula
[Em]tion of [G]piss [D]ants
[Em]One [B5]shot for e[Em]very snitch leads
the [G]needle to [Em]the stitch
It's a [A]homemade [Em]remedy to
[G]loosen [D]every [Em]tongue

[Verse 4]
How many [Em]bites do you think it [G]takes
to get to [B5]the cyan[G]ide tooth?
[C]Brace yourself, my [D]darling
[A]Brace yourself, my [B5]love[Em]

[Verse 5]
How many [Em]cries will the owners fake
[G]to save pathological truths?
[C]Brace yourself, my [D]darling
[A]Brace yourself, my [B5]love

[Verse 6]
[Em]That's the way the guillotine claps
She's the one who's governed
by con[A]tagion[Em] s
That's the way the
[G]guillotine [A]claps[Em]
She's the one who's governed [G]by con[A]tagion[Em] s

[G]

[Verse 7]
[B5]Life! Is [Em]not the answer
Cry! Will you assimilate love in the
time of [D]gilded crumb[Em]s?
Crawl! Until you weep with blood
Life! Is not the answer,
canaries in the coal mine [G]dropping [D]like [Em]flies

[Verse 8]
How many [Em]bites do you think it takes
[G]to get to the cyanide tooth?
[C]Brace yourself, my [D]darling
[A]Brace your pole-axed love
[B5]love

[Verse 9]
[Em]That's the way the guillot[G]ine [A]claps
[Em]She's the one who's governed
by con[A]ta [Em]gions
That's the way the guillotine [A]claps
[Em]She's the one who's
[G]governed by con[Em]tagions
[A][G]

[Verse 10]
[Em]Too many bodies
shriveled up in their tributes
Too many bodies flayed with a grin
[A]Brace yourself, my darling
[G]Brace yourself for a flood

[Verse 11]
He's [Em]the man behind the dresser
giving Zodiac advice
He says there will come a day
to delete everything
[A]Brace yourself, my darling
[G]Brace yourself for a flood

[Verse 12]
There's a [Em]wo man eating her
newborn under a tractor's frame
She says barren are the fields
from the Nephilim rain
[A]Brace yourself, my darling
[G]Brace yourself for a flood

[Interlude 2]

[Verse 13]
[Em]That's the way the [D]guillotine [A]claps[G]
[Em]He's the one who's [D]governed
[Em]by conta[A]gion s[Em]
That's the way the [D]guillotine [A]claps[G]
[Em]He's the one who's [D]gov
erned by con[A]ta [G]gions
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 14]
Gov[D]erned by con
[A]ta gion[Em]s[D][Em]
