Studying Politics Acoustic chords by Emery

🎸 Verse 1:
G#m
It’s like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but we’re dealing in percents
E
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
G#m
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
E
Your words always cut when they're cliché
But here’s my knife because I came for the buffet

🎸 Chorus:
G#m
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
E
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
I’ve caught you once again
G#m
It’s in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
E
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
G#m            E
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)repeat:

🎸 Verse 2:
G#m
You’d like to think that you’re the best part of me
         E
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
G#m
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
E
Say the name (say the name)

🎸 Chorus:

🎸 Bridge:
G#m B F#m                    G#m  B F#m
  There’s that smile again
                   G#m    B       F#m
You fake it and I follow you right in
                   G#m  B F#m
What a fool I've been
To fall for it each time

Chorus 2x:
