Negative Self Talk

Am
Negative self talk
G          Em
A veteran, self-taught
F         Am
Etcetera, on and on
        G
Sick of hearing my
     Em
Self talk


Am
The long walk between the car and the house
           G                          Em
I just sit behind the wheel, ‘til the battery runs out
        F
Home is where we were loud
        Am                          G
Used to sing down the hall, to your signature sound
                 Am
Now it’s just so quiet

I hate this gorgeous house
         G                   Em
Can hear my heart beat, over emptiness now
       F
Chorus of my worst thoughts
        Am             G.              Em
Drawing curtains shut, as hope takes a bow

Now all I hear is


Am
Negative self talk
G          Em
A veteran, self-taught
F         Am
Etcetera, on and on
        G
Sick of hearing my
     Em
Self talk


               Am
I write like a volcano, projectile spewing out
      G
Quiet mind’s a loaded canon
         Em
Who’s it aimed at now?
        F                 Am
And the tip of my tongue, tip of the iceberg
     G
Turn Titanic around
       Em
Let me thaw out



'Cause all I hear is
Am
Negative self talk
G          Em

Etcetera, on and on
        G

Self talk


Bb                             C
Sung over the bones of you and I
F                                  Bb
Words spun into daisy wheels in my mind
                                    C
I am Vasalisa, guide me through the night
F                              Bb
Nothing more will enter me but light

And I won't hear it
