[Intro 1]
[G][F][G][F]
[G]I

[Verse 1]
[F][Fsus4][F][G][F][Fsus4][F]
[G]thought that if I ate
the food of the area I was visit[F]ing.[Fsus4][F]
[Fsus4]That I might assimilate the point
of view of the people [F]there.[Gm]
[G]As if the point [F]of view
[Fsus4]was somehow in [F]the food.[G]
So I would make no choices myself regarding
what [F]food I [Fsus4]ate.[F][Fsus4][F][G]
I would simply follow [F]the examples
of those around [Fsus4]me.[F][G]
I would study menus very carefully,
[F][Fsus4]
Making note of important differences [F]and
simil[G]arities.[F][Fsus4][F][G]
When shopping at the [F]supermarket
I felt a [Fsus4]great desire to walk off with
someone else's [F]groceries[G]
So that I could study them [F]at length
And study [Fsus4]their effects on me.[F]
[Gm]As though if I ate t[G]heir groce[F]ries I would become that[Fsus4]
[F]per[G]son; until I finished their gro[F]ceries.[Fsus4][F][G]
And we might find ourselves going
to the same [F]places.
Running into one another
[Fsus4]at the mo[F]vies
Or in a shopping [G]mall.
Reading the same [F]books.
Watching [Fsus4]the same TV
[F]programmes.[G]
Wearing the same [F]clothes.
Trav[Fsus4]elling to the same places.
And taking the [F]same [G]pictures.
Getting sick at the same [F]time.
And getting well again
[Fsus4]simultane[F]ously.[G]
Finding ourselves attracted
to the same [F]people.
[Fsus4]Working at the same job.
And making [F]the same [G]amount of money.
Living identical [F]lives – as [Fsus4]long as the groceries lasted.
