[Intro]
 
Db Ab Gb Db/F Ab
Db Ab Gb Db/F Ab
 
 
[Verse 1]
 
      Db
I was going to spell it out in full detail but
  Bbm                       Ab
I dropped the call before I spilled my guts
    Db
But your floor stayed clean like my conscience will be
              Bbm                        Ab
'Cause if you heard anything, you didn't hear it from me
        Db
And I'm sweeping up the seconds that tick off the clock
    Bbm                            Ab
And saving them for later when I'm too ticked to talk
      Db
And I need some time to search my mind
   Bbm                           Ab
To locate the words that seem so hard to find
Gb              Ab            Bbm
Sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
         Gb                        Ab           Bbm
The most crucial thing I lack is a 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
 
 
[Chorus]
 
                   Db                                    Ab
Yeah, I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
           Db
To bite my tongue
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
             Db
It seems I'm always close minded with an open mouth
        Bbm                       Ab
And the worst of me just seems to come right out
         Db
But I've never broken bones with a stone or a stick
         Bbm                          Ab
But I'll conjure up a phrase that can cut to the quick
    Gb              Ab            Bbm
And sometimes I say things that I wish that I could take back
    Gb                Ab               Bbm
The smartest thing to say is to tell myself
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
        Db                                    Ab
To keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
             Db                              Ab
I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed
 
 
[Bridge]
 
           Bbm                Gb
And when I finally do, let it come from you
    Db/Ab                              F
The peace of understanding grips my soul
           Bbm                       Gb
You're the reason I've found meaning in this life
        Db                                   F
So I'll swallow up my pride and give you control,
             Gb    Ab
I give it to you
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
                 Db                                    Ab
But I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
             Db                              Ab
Yeah I gotta keep quiet, quiet and listen to your voice
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
Because the power of your words can repair all that I've destroyed
                  Db                                    Ab
Yeah I gotta keep quiet, quiet, don't let it all come undone
            Gb                        Db/F               Ab
'Cause if I dare open my mouth, it'll just be to bite my tongue
           Db
To bite my tongue
