Bite My Tongue

	  		Bite My Tongue by Relient K 
Intro: 
Db   Ab   Gb   Db   Ab 

Verse 1: 
Db 
I was gonna spell it out in detail but 
Bbm                Gb 
I dropped the call Before I spilled my guts 
Db 
The floor stayed clean like my conscience would be 
Bbm                          Gb 
'Cause if you heard anything you didn't hear it from me 

Verse 2: 
Db 
I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock 
Bbm                     Gb 
Save them all for later when I'm too ticked to talk 
Db 
And I need some time to search my mind 
Bbm                 Gb 
To locate the words that seem so hard to find 

Pre-Chorus 1: 
Gb                         Ab 
And sometimes I say things that 
Bbm 
I wish that I could take back 
Gb                           Ab                    Bbm 
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact" 
Gb                      Ab            Bbm 
And if you're always so intently listening 
         Gb                    Ab                             Bbm 
Then the smartest thing to say is to tell myself not to say a thing 

 
                 B                                  F#    
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
'Cause if I dare open my mouth it'll just be to bite my tongue 
F#                 B 
To bite my tongue 


Verse 2: Db 
I said I'm always close-minded with an open mouth 
Bbm                       Gb 
And the worst of me seems to come right out 
Db 
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick 
Bbm                           Gb 
But I've conjured up a phrase that can cut to the quick 

Pre Chorus 2:  
Gb                         Ab 
And sometimes I say things that 
Bbm 
I wish that I could take back 
Gb                           Ab                    Bbm 
And the smartest thing to say is to tell myself to keep 

B                                  F#    
Quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
'Cause if I dare open my mouth it'll just be to bite my tongue 
                  B                                  F#    
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
Listen to your voice because the power of your words 
F#                 B 
Can repair all that I destroyed 


Bridge: 
                   Abm          E    
And when I finally do let it come from you 
B                                    F# 
The peace of understanding grips my soul 
           Abm                  E    
You're the reason I have meaning in this life 
         B                                    F#   
Is so I swallow all my pride and give you control 
                  E                 F# 
I give it all to you 

                  NC (Piano, Bass and Drums Tacet)   
And I gotta keep quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
'Cause if I dare open my mouth it'll just be to bite my tongue 
                  B                                  F#    
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
Listen to your voice because the power of your words 
F#                 B 
Can repair all that I destroyed
 

 
                 B                                  F#    
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet don’t let it all come undone 
              E                      Abm            
'Cause if I dare open my mouth it'll just be to bite my tongue 
F#                 Db 
To bite my tongue
