[Intro 1]
[Am]
[D][Am][D][Am]

[Verse 1]
[Am]Sticks and
stones can break my bones
[C]Lies can break [G]my [D]heart
[Am]Before you fire your poison tongue
Con[C]template the [D]scar
[G]For it's lying ruined
[F]From a careless [C]flame
[G]This is our [Em]undoing
The [D]tongue cannot be [F]tamed
Oh, the [Em]tongue [Am]cannot be
[D]tamed[Am][D][Am]
Ships upon the seven seas,
[C]driven by the [D]wind
[Am]Mastered by the pilot's hand,
submis[C]sion in the [D]end
He can [G]turn the wheel one -handed,
and the [F]course is easily [C]changed
It's [G]hard to [Em]understand it
Why the [D]tongue cannot be [Dm]tamed
The [Em]tongue [Am]cannot be [D]tamed[Am]
[F]Fresh water from an unclean [Am]well
No, [F]fruit growing on a dying [Am]tree
No, it'll never [G]be [F]the same,
better [Am]one than the other
[F]Blessing and [C]currency,
[G]pra[F]ise God
they re[Am]fuse one another
[G]I'll tell you this [E]on my feet, [Am]no, no
[C]I'll [D]tell you this [Am]on my feet,
no, [D]no[Am]
Break the wild one, draw the rain,
[C]bid him do [G]your [D]will.
[Am]Yoke the oxen to the chain,
[C]cultivate [G]the [D]hill.
[G]Beast and every creature,
[F]move at your command.
[C]But [G]who will be the [Em]teacher
of the [D]wayward tongue of [Dm]man?
It's a [Em]wayward [Am]tune,
you know it [C]is[D][Am][D][Am]
[F]Fresh water from an unclean [Am]well
No, [F]no, fruit growing
on a dying [Am]tree
No, it'll never be [F]the same breath
[Am]One and the [F]other
Blessing and [C]cursing[G]
[F]We praise God then ab[Am]use one another
[G]Oh, until you're the soft [E]nappy
[F]Fresh water from an unclean well
[Am]Fresh water from an unclean well
[G]Fru[F]it growing on a dying tree
[Am]No, it'll never be t[F]he same breath
[Am]One and the other
[F]Blessing and [C]curs[G]ing
[F]Praise God and ab[Am]use one another
[G]Oh, I tell you this ought [E]not be
[Am]No, no, no
[D]Ought [Am]not be
[G]No, [Am]no
[G]I'm[D] hap[Am]py, no,
[D]no[Am][E][Am][D][Am]
Hear this thunder, please,
this [C]storm[D][Am]
Break my [D]bones[Am]
Lies can break my heart,
[D]lies [Am]can break my hear[D]t[Am]
Sticks and stones can
break my [D]bones[Am]
Lies can break my [D]heart[Am]
Oh -oh -o[D]h -oh -[Am]oh -oh -oh -oh,
