Verse:
         E
He was a songbird son
          E
She was a Hitchcock blonde
           Dmaj9
And they were on the run
             C#7
She was on some toothache diet
             E
He'd become so unexcited

Verse:
        E
On a canal bank night
         Dmaj9
Under a glove box light
            C#7
His summer song died quiet
                  F#m
Songbird son you lost your right to sing


Chorus:
          B7
Message better left unsent
       F#m
Don't say nothing

Message better left unsent

Don't say nothing

Verse:
            E
And so they made their camp
          E
On a runaway truck ramp
            Dmaj9
Yeah, they were on the run

The tent gets filled with sun
  C#7                 E
And in her dreams the tanning bed turns on


Verse:
          E
And now the chapter crash
        Dmaj9
The CHP lights flash

His summer song died quiet
C#7                 F#m
Songbird son you lost your right to sing


Chorus:
          B7
Message better left unsent
       F#m
Don't say nothing
          B7
Message better left unsent
       F#m
Don't say nothing
            B7
Some things better left unsaid
       F#m
Don't say nothing
          B7
Message better left unsent
       E
Don't say nothing
