[Verse 1]
F C G Am
Little Beast, tied up right where we left you.
F C G G
When the summers and the winters came
F C G Am
that silly leash was never strong enough to hold you.
F C G G
We just all agreed to play this game.
[Verse 2]
F C G Am
And you'd never know by the eyes you give a stranger
F C G G
but you are dangerous as all-get-out.
F C G Am
Your favourite treat is not the rarest but the the rawest
F C G G
you will feast upon a heart and die.
[Chorus]
Am F C G
But we know we're not supposed to feed you
Am F C G
'cause we need that struggle like a hole in the head.
Am F C G
And we fall asleep as though we can not hear you howling
Am F C G G
but every night we've heard every single word you've said.
[Verse 3]
F C G Am
Little beast, how long can you survive this,
F C G G
it's a question we have begged before?
F C G Am
Never too near, are you a burden or a beacon?
F C G G
Do you need us? Do we need you more?
[Verse 4]
F C G Am
And there are nights your coat is looking ragged
F C G G
and you have a look when our eyes meet.
F C G Am
You say, "I was born beside you, you have always known me,
F C G G
get me off this goddam street.
[End-Chorus]
Am F C G
But we know we're not supposed to love you.
Am F C G
Heaven's above! You know what would come next.
Am F C G
There is no match for the tug-of-war you're winning,
Am F C G G
your strength must have been penned inside a holy text.
[Verse 5]
F C G Am
Little Beast, tied up right where we left you
F C G G
when the winters and the summers came.
F C G Am
That silly leash was never strong enough to hold you,
F C G
we just all agreed to play this game.
