Tongue Behind My Teeth by The Staves
Tongue Behind My Teeth
capo 2
Am Am/G
I know where you're going
Fmaj7
And I see where you been
Am Am/G
Patience is a virtue
Fmaj7
And mine with you is wearing thin
G Am C/E Fmaj7 C/E F
It's easy to sit and wait
Am Am/G
Speak with words you've stolen
Fmaj7
From better men than you
Am Am/G
Doors they helped you open
Fmaj7
In time will cease to let you through
G Am C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
Is it easy to stand and sigh?
G Am C/E Fmaj7
Bid another friend goodbye?
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
Am/G Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
Am/G Fmaj7 G Am G F G
Oh oh ooooh
Am Am/G
Lights can shine too bright, dear
Fmaj7
So nobody can see
Am Am/G
Hide safe behind your light, dear
Fmaj7
But understand it won't blind me
G Am C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
And I know it would do no good
Am C/E Fmaj7
I'd hurt you if I could
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh (See my eyes)
Am/G Fmaj7
Oh oh ooooh (Open wide)
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh (Speak up now)
Am/G Fmaj7 G Am G F G
Oh oh ooooh (Hold your peace forever and be done)
Am Am/G
Eyes down, door closed, keep quiet, growing old
Fmaj7
I know you, I see you cling to the road you ride on
Am Am/G
Homeless, more or less, skin and bone, on your own
Fmaj7
I'll be alright, I'm doing fine, keep my tongue behind
Am Am/G
my teeth and get gone, you never were anyone
Fmaj7
Keep your words, keep your mind, I'll keep my tongue behind
Am Am/G Fmaj7
my teeth, tongue behind my teeth
G Am C/E Fmaj7 G/D C/E Am G
And I know it would do no good
Am C/E Fmaj7
But I'd hurt you if I could
C/E F Am
Oh oh ooooh
