[Verse 1]
I [C]was
going to spell it out in full detail but
[Am]I dropped the call before [F]I spilled my guts
But [C]your floor stayed clean like
my conscience will be
'Cause if you [Am]heard anything,
you didn't [F]hear it from me

[Verse 2]
And [C]I'm sweeping up the seconds
that tick off the clock
And sav[Am]ing them for later
when I'm [F]too ticked to talk
And [C]I need some time to search my mind
To [Am]locate the words that seem
[F]so hard to find

[Verse 3]
[F]Sometimes I say [G]things that I [Am]wish
that I could take back
The most cru[F]cial thing I lack
is [G]a thing called [Am]tact
And if you're [F]always so in
[G]tently [Am]listening
Then [F]the smartest thing to say is [G]to tell
myself not to say [Am]a thing
Yeah, [C]I gotta keep quiet,

[Verse 4]
quiet,
don't let it all come un[G]done
'Cause if I [F]dare open my mouth,
it'll [C]just be to bite my [G]tongue
To bite my tongue
[C]

[Verse 5]
It seems I'm always close
minded with an open mouth
And the [Am]worst of me just
seems [F]to come right out
But I've [C]never broken bones
with a stone or a stick
But [Am]I'll conjure up a phrase
that can [F]cut to the quick

[Verse 6]
And [F]sometimes I say [G]things that I [Am]wish
that I could take back
[F]The smartest thing to say is [G]to tell myself

[Verse 7]
To keep [C]quiet, quiet,
don't let it all come un[G]done
'Cause if [F]I dare open my mouth,
it'll [C]just be to bite my [G]tongue
I gotta keep [C]quiet,
quiet and listen to your [G]voice
Because the [F]power of your words can
re[C]pair all that I've des[G]troyed

[Verse 8]
And when I [Am]finally do,
let it [F]come from [C]you
The peace of understanding
grips my [Em]soul[E][Em]
You're the [Am]reason I've
found meaning [F]in this life
So [C]I'll swallow up my pride and give you con[E]trol,
I give it to [Em]you
[F][G]

[Verse 9]
But I gotta keep [C]quiet, quiet,
don't let it all come undone
'Cause if [F]I dare open my mouth,
it'll [C]just be to bite my tongue
[G]Yeah, I gotta keep qui[C]et,
quiet and listen to your [G]voice
Because [F]the power of your words can re
[C]pair all that I've des[G]troyed

[Verse 10]
Yeah, I gotta keep [C]quiet, quiet,
don't let it all come un[G]done
'Cause if [F]I dare open my mouth,
it'll [C]just be to bite my [G]tongue

[Outro 1]
To bite my tongue
[C]
