I made it for you so take it

Battered and braised 
                   Em7 
Grilled and sautéed  
               C 
Just how you like it, like it...

You know I live to fill you up

Dripping with love

 No better way that I can see to spend all the time while you're asleep

 I want to be here and nowhere else

  So I can crumble at your side

 Sleep like the dead through the noise in your head

My monitors click and whir and glow 
                  B                    Em7 
I'm with you all day and I still would stay 
                 D

Til they devour the sky
