Words are hard to find.
They’re on ly cheques I’ve left un signed
from the banks of cha os in my mind.
And when their el o quence es capes me,
their log ic ties me up and rapes me.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da is (Esus2)all I want (E)to say to you.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da, their (Esus2)in no cence (E)will pull me through.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da is (Esus2)all I want (E)to say to you.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da, the (Esus2)mean ing less (E)and all me through.
De that’s true.
Po ets, priests and pol i ti cians
have words to thank for their po si tions.
Words that scream for your sub mis sion,
and no one’s jam (F#m7)ming their trans mis sion.
that’s true.
(Gmaj7)Oh.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da is (Esus2)all I want (E)to say to you.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da, their (Esus2)in no cence (E)will pull me through.
De (Asus2)do do do, de (Asus)da da da is (Esus2)all I want (E)to say to you.
