Hurt Me
Capo 1
Intro
D A D G (Repeated several times)

Bm D A
Oh love is that a vulture don�t tell me it�s a vulture
Bm
standing beside you.
D A

And do you see your own face in his eyes?
Bm
Do you see him like I do? Oh

D A
It used to be that when you said you believed it
Bm
I would believe it too
D A
It used to be that when you said you were leaving
G
I'd want to follow you
G
But never where the dogs bark, never where the dogs bark
A D A G
and I remember, praying at the dinner table
A D G
For you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able.

Bm D
Now I've a dream of you with half a face
A
and you take me to a rooftop and skin me
Bm
Come on, Abel, are you going to skin me?
D A
And use it as a mask to keep you in the dark
Bm D A
When the shadow of the moon won't do
Bm D A
'cause on you, the moon is but a pearl
A D G
Stolen from your mother's bedside the day you came into the world
G
still now, i can hear the dogs bark, i can hear the dogs bark

A D A G
and i remember, praying at the dinner table
A D G
for you to come around, maybe pat me on the back when you're able
A D A G
oh whole cities light up, but nothing can compare to you, baby
A D G
so I stay awake, laying on the dinner table
A
waiting for you to hurt me, come on Abel, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
D G
come down to the world

A G
hurt me, come on Abel, cut me, cut me, serve me 'round the table.
A
and now it's laying on the table
G
waiting for you, on the table
A D G
to carve it up and watch the spray go across the river-bed
A D
and sweet aromas fill the halls from all the bodies that came before
A Bm
and that's the body, i swear that's the body
A D A G
i remember, it was laying on the dinner table
A D G
and when you came around, said you'll be doing fine when you're able
A D A G
oh whole cities light up but nothing can compare to you, baby
A D G
so I stay waiting, laying on the dinner table.
A
oh hurt me, hurt me, hurt me
G
oh cut me, cut me, serve me
