G 
I find you hid in Mirrorville 
Bm 
Creature of the deep 
G 
Waifish as a widow 
Bm 
And without sufficient sleep

Oh, what am I supposed to think?

Do I pull you out? 
Bm 
Or do I let you sink? 

G 
I wait until you're woozy 
Bm 
I lay low until you're limp 
G 
I take you in the mouth 
Bm 
Like a lion takes his game

I love you all the more

Forever we thought 
Em 
But how it got within me

But that's why the dark is there

See you don't have to see

Lion's share 
  G               Bm 
I took the lion's share 
     Em       Bm 
Not 'cause I didn't care 
      Em           Bm 
Just 'cause I knew it was there

Oh, oh, oh, lion's share

I took the lion's share

Not 'cause I didn't care 
      Em              Bm 
Just 'cause I knew it was there
