Sing For My Supper Cifras

Jensen McRae - Sing For My Supper
 
[Intro]
 
Bb Dm Eb
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
Bb                       Dm
They're selling it hard, models with guitars
Eb
Sex and drugs and violence
Bb                  Dm
They took down the one by my house
    Eb
But there's still one on Highland
Bb          Dm
Lay my life under my knife
Eb
Confess 'til I'm big as the fakers
Bb                 Dm
But by spring, some shiny new thing
       Eb
Will be taking its place in the paper
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb             F
Learn to live, to subsist
   Eb
In hope I look nice when I suffer
Bb              Dm
Pray for rain, dance for change
      Eb
Beg for chances to sing for my supper
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
Bb                           Dm
Come on, let her speak, she's heroin chic
        Eb
Lips as real as the words in her mouth
Bb                    Dm
Cool Jesus smokes and buy Diet Coke
      Eb
If you lived here, you'd be home by now
Bb                                 Dm
I've lived this too long, you can't just try it on
          Eb
Though you do, and they clap when you pass by the car
Bb                   Dm
But I am the oracle, genuine article
Eb
You'll never be who you pretend you are
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb             F
Learn to live, to subsist
   Eb
In hope I look nice when I suffer
Bb              Dm
Pray for rain, dance for change
Eb
Beg for chances to sing for my supper
 
 
[Bridge]
F
Oh, oh
F
Oh, oh
 
 
[Outro]
(slow strum)
 
Bb                       Dm
The end of the thread, the gun to your head
          Eb
Thanking God that you'll get judged today
Bb                            Dm
Your blood on the street, your ex on TV
       Eb
What a privilege to die in LA
