Studying Politics Acoustic by Emery

[Verse 1]
Abm
It’s like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but we’re dealing in percents
E
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
Abm
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
E
Your words always cut when they're cliché
But here’s my knife because I came for the buffet

[Chorus]
Abm
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
E
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
I’ve caught you once again
Abm
It’s in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
E
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
Abm           E
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)[repeat]

[Verse 2]
Abm
You’d like to think that you’re the best part of me
         E
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
Abm
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
E
Say the name (say the name)

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Abm B F#m                     Abm B F#m
      There’s that smile again 
                   Abm   B        F#m
You fake it and I follow you right in
                   Abm B F#m
What a fool I've been 
To fall for it each time

[Chorus 2x]
