Absent Elk - Cannibals

      
 
 Cannibals by Absent Elk
 
 E                                      
 Where he grew up, the doors were locked
 
 G#m                 
 And no one ever knew
 
 A                                  E  
 What went on behind those wooden walls
 
                              B 
 The place that he called home
 
 The quiet type, tainted eyes
 He paid for being kind
 Most aren't when he'll never speak his mind
 To say, "I watch the days go by"
 
 Chorus x2:
 
 A                            E B 
 Keep the cannibals away from me
 
 A                      E B 
 Keep the cannibals away
 
 Come this way someone say
 From down behind the crowd
 Begging through the arrogance
 And a ray between the clouds
 
 He found his love in an empty cup
 He worked his own way up
 Everybody's out to get a cut
 A bite of shameless and polite
 
 Chorus x2:
 Keep the cannibals away from me
 Keep the cannibals away
 
 C#m                           
 Why would I roll up my sleeves
 
 B                              
 For you to take it all from me?
 
 A          E     
 I'll say it clear
 
 F#m                     B   
 There's nothing for you here
 
 C#m                           
 Oh, I should I get on my knees
 
 B                                 
 For you to shake the rocking trees
 
 A           E    
 I've heard it all
 
 F#m                                               B 
 That double talk, and your smile, just wipe it off
 
 Chorus to end:
 Keep the cannibals away from me
 Keep the cannibals away
