D Dadd9
What was that crack I made? Swung a hammer wrapped in suede
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
Like a lick from a lunatic beatnick, knock you senseless as I babble on
D Dadd9
I strike between the lines, hissing words in serpentine
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
Back----biter with an appetite, I coil and rattle, then I babble on
BRIDGE
C D A Dadd9
Everytime I add a line, I wish I could subtract
C
Too late too take it back
D Dadd9
Conversations in veneer, Sand’em down they’re insincere
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
Off guard, better check the cue card, Got ghostwriters for my babble on
D Dadd9
So I communicate, Intending to humiliate
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
On attack with a cardiac comeback, You take shelter, I take babble on
BRIDGE
CHORUS
E D Dadd9 A
And if talk is cheap, the price is high
D Dadd9 E
When I let another arrow fly
E D Dadd9 A
Better to be seen and never heard
D Dadd9 E
Than to babble on with every word
PLAY CHORDS FROM ALL OF VERSE
D Dadd9
What was that crack I made? File a claim with medicaid
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
All my rumors spread like tumors, tale and tattle, rant and rattle on
D Dadd9
Ugly as the sun it is, Sold out to the slander biz
Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A Aadd9 A
Gotta keep the tongue in line, Even fools seems wiser off the babble on
BRIDGE
CHORUS
E D Dadd9 A D Dadd9 E
And if talk is cheap, then why the thrill in an idle tongue that fires at will?
E D Dadd9 A D Dadd9 A
Better to be silent and be strong, Than to let my babble babble on
A D Dadd9 A Dsus
Than to let my babble babble on, than to babble on
