Stupid Mouth Shut (Messé)

(Capo 3)

G Cadd9 G
the sidewalk bends where your house ends
Cadd9 G
like the neighborhood is on its knees
Cadd9 G
you're surrounded by a chain-link fence
Cadd9
that keeps me out but lets me see
G Cadd9 G
well i come by most every night
G Cadd9 G
the shutters pounding in the breeze
G Cadd9 G
a clothesline strung like paper kites
G Cadd9
that blow my words right back at me
G
back at me

Am7
but someday when my heart exhales
i'll tell you everything
Dsus2 C
these sweet words spilling all about us
Am7
i'll say please please be with me
and i'll breath so easily
Dsus2
but instead i'm turning blue
i look at you
G
and keep my stupid mouth shut

the hall light streams out through the screens
and the shadows capture me in webs
just tangled up in what i've seen
and every word i have not said
i have not said

cuz the sidewalk bends where your house ends
like the neighborhood is on its knees
