Dm

[Verse 1]
           Am                       C                F    Dm
there were two of us, now there are three and four here
           Am                     C                F    Dm
and out of every mouth, we send a chill into the air
Am              C
spitting images, spitting bitter lies
F                         Dm
spitting sharpened stones, spitting alibis

[Chorus]
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa

[Verse 2]
            Am               C               F   Dm
we've got a dictionary and a psychic fountain
             Am                         C               F   Dm
there are so many tongues, but you know just bits of them
Am                      C
teeth on polished glass, scrape off all the boards
F                        Dm
swallow all your thoughts, wait for blood to boil

[Chorus]
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa

[Verse 3]
    Am                           C                        F   Dm
the sun sinks westward and we're soaked through and through
        Am                        C                  F   Dm
worried words feel warmest just before they choke you
Am                   C
this is permanent, love, it's the place to be
F                           Dm
close your frightened mouth, drift off peacefully

[Chorus]
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Am   C    F    Dm
aaa aaaa aaaaa
