Intro:
E MajorE A augmentedA G+G FF 4x

Verse 1:
E minorEm
Too much patience, no resistance,
    A augmentedA
Within shouting distance,
    G+G   A augmentedA      E minorEm
You can hear a blind man's bluff,
     EsusEsus               G+G
Dragging names through the mud and still biting his tongue,
  A augmentedA
The devil's in the air and I'm spitting out prayers,
     G+G           A augmentedA
While the ravenous all eat their fill,

Chorus:
C majorC         D MajorD
Tell me, tell me a story,
        A augmentedA           G+G  A augmentedA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
C majorC             D MajorD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
        A augmentedA          G+G  A augmentedA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,

Instrumental:
E MajorE A augmentedA G+G FF (x4)

Verse 2:
E minorEm
Too much hog wart, not enough hearsay,
    A augmentedA
Always made the front page,
     G+G   A augmentedA     E minorEm
You could use a fine tooth comb,
     EsusEsus
to get a word from the wise,
      G+G
Would be a welcome surprise,
    A augmentedA                          G+G          A augmentedA
Keep an ear to the ground so to drown out the sound of the failures that make me whole,

Chorus:
C majorC         D MajorD
Tell me, tell me a story,
        A augmentedA           G+G  A augmentedA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
C majorC             D MajorD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
        A augmentedA          G+G  A augmentedA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,

Verse 3:
E minorEm   D MajorD      C majorC
These walls don't talk,
D MajorD         E minorEm
Even when somebody knocks,
E minorEm   D MajorD      C majorC
These walls don't stand,
D MajorD          E minorEm
For anyone else but themselves,
E minorEm   D MajorD      C majorC
These walls don't fall,
D MajorD          G+G   A augmentedA  C majorC  D MajorD
Even when gravity's failing us all,

Chorus:
C majorC         D MajorD
Tell me, tell me a story,
        A augmentedA           G+G  A augmentedA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
C majorC             D MajorD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
        A augmentedA          G+G  A augmentedA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,
