Mother Tongue  White Lies

The city stays h[F]igh, all night[C] [G-Am]
[F]Lit up and shivering
Like a [C]pinball table of fireflies[G-Am]
[F]An echo of home, [C]on the edge of life[G-Am]
[F]Shot through the veins of an [C]angel
I'm a devil in exile[G-AM] [G]
[D]But if you have for[F]gotten
Your precious mother [AM]tongue
What do you think your [G]mother
Would say of what you've [D]done?
And if you can't [F]remember the place
You call a [Am]home, or having trouble [G]placing
Who's calling on the [D]phone...[Am] [G]
[F] [C] [G-AM]  
[F]Dip the nose of the [C]car to the sugar lines[G-Am]
[F]Out to the desert
Under [C]cinnamon hills and moonshine[G-Am]
[F]He said 'what can I [C]do to make you mine?'[G-Am]
[F]Kiss out the twang from my [C]lips
On the way to big-time[G-Am] [G]
[D]But if you have for[F]gotten
Your precious mother [AM]tongue
What do you think your [G]mother
Would say of what you've [D]done?
And if you can't [F]remember the place
You call a [Am]home, or having trouble [G]placing
Who's calling on the [D]phone...[Am] [G]
BRIDGE
[D] [F] [Am] [C]  
Forgot your [F]mother [Am]tongue
Forgot your [G]mother [D]tongue
Forgot your [F]mother [Am]tongue
Forgot your [G]mother [D]tongue
[D]But if you have for[F]gotten
Your precious mother [AM]tongue
What do you think your [G]mother
Would say of what you've [D]done?
And if you can't [F]remember the place
You call a [Am]home, or having trouble [G]placing
Who's calling on the [D]phone
[D]But if you have for[F]gotten
Your precious mother [AM]tongue
What do you think your [G]mother
Would say of what you've [D]done?
And if you can't [F]remember the place
You call a [Am]home, or having trouble [G]placing
Who's calling on the [D]phone...
