EI'd (022100@1)crawl over broken glass

D6if (xx04xx@1)we could start again

Ebefore (022100@1)our plans were made

D6when (xx04xx@1)the world was young

Ethe (022100@1)house is falling down

D6because (xx04xx@1)of my loose tongue


VERSE:
Shouldn't say so much
shouldn't talk so loud
No sooner on your lips
then it's all over town
in all our given days
how many gone to waste
a good man has been hung
because of my loose tongue

VERSE:
And all the wagging tongues
too much information
in the future now
under massive doubt
the papers on the street
get trampled under feet

A (x02220@1)                                            Gand (320003@1)they settle for a princely sum (no..no..no..)

You shouldn't ask me
shouldn't ask me

....nose keeps growing

....and after some time you get what you're knowing

....sidecar? superman

....and that's not nothing you wandering for, yeah

halfway through his life
He's only
used up all his time
