DbDb AbAb GbGb Db/F AbAb


♫ Verse 1:

   DbDb
I was going to spell it out in full detail but
 BbmBbm            AbAb
I dropped the call before I spilled my guts
  DbDb
But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be
       BbmBbm            AbAb
'Cause if you heard anything, you didn't hear it from me
    DbDb
And I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock
  BbmBbm              AbAb
And saving them for later when I'm too ticked to talk
   DbDb
And I need some time to search my mind
  BbmBbm              AbAb
To locate the words that seem so hard to find
GbGb       AbAb      BbmBbm
Sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
     GbGb            AbAb      BbmBbm
The most crucial thing I lack is a thing called tact
       GbGb      AbAb      BbmBbm
And if you're always so intently listening
     GbGb             AbAb         BbmBbm
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing


♫ Chorus:

          DbDb                  AbAb
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
      DbDb
To bite my tongue


♫ Verse 2:

       DbDb
It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouth
    BbmBbm            AbAb
And the worst of me just seems to come right out
     DbDb
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick
     BbmBbm             AbAb
But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick
  GbGb       AbAb      BbmBbm
And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
  GbGb        AbAb        BbmBbm
The smartest thing to say is to tell myself

♫ Chorus 2:

    DbDb                  AbAb
To keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
       DbDb               AbAb
I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed


♫ Bridge:

      BbmBbm        GbGb
And when I finally do, let it come from you
  Db/Ab               FF
The peace of understanding grips my soul
      BbmBbm            GbGb
You're the reason I've found meaning in this life
    DbDb                  FF
So I'll swallow up my pride and give you control,
       GbGb  AbAb
I give it to you


♫ Chorus 3:

         DbDb                  AbAb
But I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
       DbDb               AbAb
Yeah I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed
         DbDb                  AbAb
Yeah I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
      GbGb            Db/F        AbAb
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
      DbDb
To bite my tongue
