Polite Company Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Am][C][Am]
[F][Dm][F]
[Dm][F]

[Verse 1]
[C]She's the edge between
the sacred and profane
And means [F]at least one other language
you would never speak [C]in polite company
She's a dancer, lone
riddle in the answer
She auditioned for romantics
[F]But no calls from the right com[C]pany

[Verse 2]
She'll never love the way
you need her to, darlin'
[F]You'll never lift her at all
[C]She only wants the man
she thinks is you, darlin'
[F]You'll only take her if
you think you could lose
[Am]So what if I don't f[F]ind you, take you back?
[C]I only want what I c[Gm]an't have
If you love me, give [F]me nothing
But
Polite company
[C]

[Interlude 1]
[Am][C][Am][F]
[Dm][F][Dm]

[Verse 3]
[C]We're the dance among the drunklegs, a
[F]contest between
Untied lace, pop-shoegaze,
and 808 heartbreak
[C]We both caught the pace
[F]of two hea[C]rts, offbeat
What will hold you when

[Verse 4]
the dance is through?
[F]Put your back against the wall
[C]Follow syncopated water
fountain conversation
[F]Making love inside a
crayon covered bathroom stall
[Dm]What if I don't find[Am] you,
take you there?
[C]I only want what I c[Gm]an't[F] have
[Bb]If you love me, give me nothing

[Verse 5]
Nothing
[Eb]Some simple math
Two I can add
[Bb]I ain't writing it down
I remember [Eb]now what you came for,
where your [Bb]aim i[Eb]s
Maintain it
Try to burn the right glow
I'll be on my way out
[Bb]I'll be over soon
Sober later
[Eb]Fire that only I'd know
You've been on my radar
[Bb]Are you lonely too?
'Cause your [Eb]coast[F][C][Gm]
is clear to
[Eb]get [Bb]a hold on

[Interlude 2]
[Eb][Bb]
[Eb][Bb]

[Verse 6]
[Eb]me

[Verse 7]
She's the edge between the
cadence of my name
[Bb]And on these walls another
language we would never speak
In polite [Eb]company[Cm]
