Masters Of The Flattery

Dm             Bb
When the water rose above my knees
Dm                    Am
I took my flesh and I threw it to the sea
Dm             Bb              Am
My darling I'm drowning in disbelief


[Main riff]

 Bb  Am  Dm (4x)


[Verse 2]

Bb                Am             Dm
Fire and brimstone is what they preached to me
Bb             Am                Dm
But I saw the fire they couldn't reach
               Bb                              Am
And with their hands outstretched every one of them
Dm
Was making amends with God
Bb                                 Am
But the fire wasn't hot enough and now
And now I’m burning alive


[Pre-chorus]

Bb  Am  Dm
        Get get get
Bb   Am   Dm
Get your kicks while you can.
Bb                 Am     Dm
We are the masters of the flattery for every man
   F
Handing habits to the free
  Am
Taking all that we can


[Chorus]

Bb          Am      Dm
Wait I have made a mistake
Dm
Take me back for Heaven's sake
Bb        Am        Dm
I have found myself alone
Bb              Am        Dm
Grace, you have made me a saint
Dm
How could you not know my name?
Bb    Am
I was lied to all along


[Verse 3]

Bb      Am
I can't believe in this
Dm
Not even if I try as hard as I can
Bb          Am
I'll be the judge
Dm
Of who's wrong and who's right and who's rightfully damned
Bb         Am        Dm
Don't play me like a member of your congregation
Bb             Am
You're just as crooked as this "Christian" nation


[Main riff]
Bb  Am  Dm (2x)


[Pre-chorus]

Bb  Am  Dm
        Get get get
Bb   Am   Dm
Get your kicks while you can.
Bb                 Am     Dm
We are the masters of the flattery for every man
   F
Handing habits to the free
  Am
Taking all that we can


[Chorus]

Bb          Am      Dm
Wait I have made a mistake
Dm
Take me back for Heaven's sake
Bb        Am        Dm
I have found myself alone
Bb              Am        Dm
Grace, you have made me a saint
Dm
How could you not know my name?
Bb    Am
I was lied to all along
