Tongue Behind My Teeth The Staves
capo 2
[Am]I know where you're going[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]And I see where you been
[Am]Patience is a virtue[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]And mine with you is wearing thin
It's [G]easy to [Am]sit [C/E]and [Fmaj7]wait[C/E] [F]
[Am]Speak with words you've stolen[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]From better men than you
[Am]Doors they helped you open[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]In time will cease to let you through
Is it [G]easy to s[Am]tand [C/E]and s[Fmaj7]igh?[G/D] [C/E] [Am] [G]
[G]Bid another f[Am]riend [C/E]goodb[Fmaj7]ye?
[C/E]Oh o[F]h [Am]ooooh
Oh [Am/G] oh [Fmaj7]ooooh
[C/E]Oh o[F]h [Am]ooooh
Oh [Am/G] oh [Fmaj7]ooooh [G] [Am] [G] [F] [G]
L[Am]ights can shine too bright, dear[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]So nobody can see
[Am]Hide safe behind your light, dear[Am/G]
[Fmaj7]But understand it won't blind me
And I kn[G]ow it would [Am]do [C/E]no g[Fmaj7]ood[G/D] [C/E] [Am] [G]
I'd hurt you[Am] if[C/E] I c[Fmaj7]ould
[C/E]Oh o[F]h [Am]ooooh (See my eyes)
Oh [Am/G] oh [Fmaj7]ooooh (Open wide)
[C/E]Oh o[F]h [Am]ooooh (Speak up now)
Oh [Am/G] oh [Fmaj7]ooooh (Hold your peace for[G]ever and be d[Am]one) [G] [F] [G]
[Am]Eyes down, door closed, keep quiet, growing [Am/G]old
I [Fmaj7]know you, I see you cling to the road you ride on
H[Am]omeless, more or less, skin and bone, on your [Am/G]own
I'll[Fmaj7] be alright, I'm doing fine, keep my tongue behind
my t[Am]eeth and get gone, you never were any[Am/G]one
[Fmaj7]Keep your words, keep your mind, I'll keep my tongue behind
my t[Am]eeth, tongue b[Am/G]ehind my[Fmaj7] teeth
And I kn[G]ow it would [Am]do [C/E]no g[Fmaj7]ood[G/D] [C/E] [Am] [G]
But I'd hurt y[Am]ou [C/E]if I[Fmaj7] could
[C/E]Oh o[F]h [Am]ooooh
