Bridge plays the whole verse progression before picking up at
GCmaj7 ...And I wish that we had never talked Bm#9 CG Our hips said it all a all a all
I'm in my worst when I'm at my best I'm at my best when I'm trying to look and think and talk And sing and read and write like all the rest We're all just trying to play our roles In a play that runs ad nauseum I hate this damn enlightenment We were better off as animals
We're at our best when it's from our hips From our hips we don't give a shit It just feels good, and that's no sin It's the only way to feel alive The closest thing to being born again And when baby comes, it's "job well done" Roll in the hay, or roll around the sun
We're at our worst when it's from our lips From our lips we caused a rift And this world is falling in From Babel to barroom brawls Our words have formed a death sentence And I wish that we had never talked Our hips said it all
And I wish that we had never talked Our hips said it all
