D(3)                G                  D(3)
Hold your tongue the unwilling and the safe
                    G        D(3)
Make your mark in your own tiny way
                   G                        Bm
Your own miniature firework display for one

D(3)               G                 D(3)
Fear of facing the shadow on the shore
                G               D(3)
Tied in knots and hung out on the backdoor
                                 G          D(3)        Bm
The 'boy-done-good' thoughts of valour and the all for one

         A                      D
It's the beetle in the box that shakes in your hands
         Bm                       G          D
And it's formed out of feelings I don't understand
        Em                         Bm
They're mapped in the gaps and the spaces between
    G                    A            D(3)       G      D(3)
The worry of bearing the ghost in the machine

D(3)                     G                 D(3)
I eat your words and you mark my mistakes
                     G        D(3)
We set the dictionary up to fail
                       G      D(3)             Bm   G
The work of poets is a vapour we exhale it's gone

D(3)                   G            D(3)
Fleeting fondness is a flicker in your frown
                 G               D(3)
Spilling out in adjectives and nouns
                            G                                Bm
A mess of letters once it's chewed and swallowed down all gone

         A                      D
It's the beetle in the box that shakes in your hands
         Bm                       G          D
And it's formed out of feelings I don't understand
        Em                         Bm
They're mapped in the gaps and the spaces between
    G                    A            D(3)       G      D(3)
