Land Of a Thousand Words

Scissor Sisters

Tom: C

C                     G 
Another constellation dies  
C                                     G 
Do what you want 'cause it's your own sky  
Dm                               
Just call me when the phone stops ringing  
G 
Thanks for coming by  
C        Bbm5             C          
I'm just glad I'm on your good side  
G          F            
Where it's smoldering or freezing  
     G                      C 
It's never all that easy to decide  
 
 
C           G                  F 
This is the land of a thousand words  
                F       Em                  Dm 
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say  
       G                            Em 
Except I'll be looking after my own world  
C       Bbm                     C 
And you just keep on saving the day  
            F                Em               D 
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far  
           Abm         G       c 
I'm on the run to wherever you are  
 
 
 
And that's the nature of the chase  
 
You fall so far behind you end in first place  
 
Pass the torch this time we're running to each's own regret  
 
There'sno harm in playing hard to get  
 
Boundlessness deceives me  
 
Baby you may turn the corner yet  
 
 
 
This is the land of a thousand words  
 
But it seems so few are worth the breath to say  
 
Except I'll be looking after my own world  
 
And you just keep on saving the day  
 
I'll try to stay but it's in vain when you're far  
 
I'm on the run to wherever you are  
 
 
 
I'm a gonna do everything I say  
 
Tried to stay but time's running out  
 
But now I'm on my way
