B     D#m  G#        G#m
Oh my god, what have I done?
E       C#m               A
Left my hands above the flames
B       D#m          G#       G#m
Heal my skin, with a bite of ointment
E           C#m            F#
Tastes like hell but I’m in pain


[Chorus]

A    C#m    G#m B   F#m A
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf


[Verse 2]

B    D#m        G#           G#m
As a post and I like it, the silence
E         C#m              A
I’ll just smile and nod my head
B      D#m            G#    G#m
How it burns! I can't focus on you
E      C#m             F#
See my skin is turning red


[Chorus]

A    C#m    G#m B   F#m A
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf
A    C#m    G#m B   F#m A
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf


[Bridge]

D#m   C#       B A   G#                E
I’m inside my head, rolling ‘round my skull
                      B       C#       G#m   (G#m G#m Gm F#m x2)
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go


[Verse 3]
B       D#m           G#      G#m
Hold my tongue with a finger, no thumb
E        C#m          A
Pressing down into my neck
B      D#m            G#      G#m
How it hurts! I can't exhale, next bale
E       C#m           F#
Tell me I’m a nervous wreck


[Chorus]

A    C#m    G#m B   F#m A
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf
A    C#m    G#m B   F#m A
Don’t speak softly, I’m deaf


[Bridge]

D#m   C#       B A   G#                E
I’m inside my head, rolling ‘round my skull
                      B       C#       D#m
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go
  C#       B A   G#                E
inside my head, rolling ‘round my skull
                      B       C#       G#m   (G#m G#m Gm F#m x2)
Like a flesh-coloured marble, round we go
