Song: Plea from a Cat Named Virtute
 
[Intro]
A D G D A
 
[Verse 1]
A
Why don't you ever wanna play?
D
I'm tired of this piece of string
E
You sleep as much as I do now,
        D                    A
and you don't eat much of anything
A
I don't know who you're talking to
D
I made a search through every room
E
But all I found was dust that moved
    D                A
With shadows of the afternoon
 
[Chorus 1]
A                       D
And listen, about those bitter songs you sing
            Bm
They're not helping anything
           D        A
They won't make you strong
 
[Verse 2]
A
So we should open up the house
D
Invite the tabby two doors down
E
You could ask your sister if
D                     A
She doesn't bring her basset hound
A
Ask the things you shouldn't miss
D
Tape hiss and the modern man
E
Cold war and card catalogues
D                A
To come join us if they can
A
For girly drinks and parlor games
D
We'll pass around the easy lie
E
Of absolutely no regrets
D               A
And later maybe you could try
A
To let your losses dangle off
D
The sharp edge of a century
E
We'll talk about the weather
   D               A
or how the weather used to be
 
[Chorus 2]
A                            D
And I'll cater, with all the birds that I can kill
          Bm                       D
Let their tiny feathers fill disappointment
A                      D
Lie down, and lick the sorrow from your skin
            Bm                   D              A
Scratch the terror and begin to believe you're strong
 
A D G D
 
[Outro]
A              Aaug          F#m              D
All you ever want to do is drink and watch TV
F#m                 E              B7
Frankly that thing doesn't really interest me
   A                 Aaug              C#m              D
I swear I'm going to bite you hard and taste your tinny blood
   F#m                E              B7                 Bm
If you don't stop the self-defeating lies you've been repeating
          D
Since the day you brought me home
              A
I know you're strong.
 
A D G D A
