Locking Lips chords by Speak Low If You Speak Love

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Intro:
Bb Gm7 Dm Eb
Bb Gm7 Dm Eb


Verse 1:
        Bb              Gm7
It's a lie: hopeless romantic
        Dm                               Eb
It's a frail excuse I use when I know I can't commit
            Bb                  Gm7
So I don't try, I get caught up in semantics
             Dm                               Eb
And my conversational skills could use some practice

Instrumental:
Bb Gm7 Dm Eb
Bb Gm7 Dm Eb


Chorus:
      Bb         Gm7             Eb
So if you could build a lifetime on locking lips
         Bb                Gm7             Eb
Then I promise you I'd be better off than this
                 Bb        Gm7        Eb
Oh if you could build a lifetime on locking lips,
         Bb                Gm7             Eb
Then I promise you I'd be better off than this


Outro:
          Bb                   Gm7
So I give up, I'd rather feel sorry for myself
      Dm                                  Bb
Than take your patient heart away from someone else
