B D
Look beyond the broken bottles
A B
Past the rotting wooden stairs
D
Root out the wine-dark honeyed center
A E
Not everyone can live like millionaires
B D A B
[Verse 2]
B D
Look through the air-thin walls
A B
Tear up the floorboards strip the paint
D
Go over every inch of space
A E
With the patience of a saint
[Chorus]
E B
Grab your hat, get your coat
D A B
The cellar door is an open throat
[Verse 3]
D
Look past the kitchen cabinets
A B
Go through the chest of drawers
D
Scrutinize the casements
A B
Rip the varnish off the doors
D
Dig up the laughing photographs
A B
They're here somewhere or other
D
Take what you can carry
A E
But let me tell you brother
[Chorus]
E B
Still waters go stagnant, bodies bloat
D A B
And the cellar door is an open throat
