[Verse 1]
Em G C Am
there were two of us, now there are three and four here
Em G C Am
and out of every mouth, we send a chill into the air
Em G
spitting images, spitting bitter lies
C Am
spitting sharpened stones, spitting alibis
[Chorus]
Em G C Am
aaa aaaa aaaaa
Em G C Am
aaa aaaa aaaaa
[Verse 2]
Em G C Am
we've got a dictionary and a psychic fountain
Em G C Am
there are so many tongues, but you know just bits of them
Em G
teeth on polished glass, scrape off all the boards
C Am
swallow all your thoughts, wait for blood to boil
[Chorus]
Em G C Am
aaa aaaa aaaaa

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