Verse 1:
Db
I was gonna spell it out in detail but
Bbm Gb
I dropped the call Before I spilled my guts
Db
The floor stayed clean like my conscience would be
Bbm Gb
'Cause if you heard anything you didn't hear it from me
Verse 2:
Db
I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock
Bbm Gb
Save them all for later when I'm too ticked to talk
Db
And I need some time to search my mind
Bbm Gb
To locate the words that seem so hard to find
Pre-Chorus 1:
Gb Ab
And sometimes I say things that
Bbm
I wish that I could take back
Gb Ab Bbm
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact"
Gb Ab Bbm
And if you're always so intently listening
Gb Ab Bbm
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing
B F#
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet don�t let it all come undone
E Abm
'Cause if I dare open my mouth it'll just be to bite my tongue
F# B
To bite my tongue
Verse 2: Db
I said I'm always close-minded with an open mouth
Bbm Gb
And the worst of me seems to come right out
Db
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick
Bbm Gb
But I've conjured up a phrase that can cut to the quick
