Language Or The Kiss Chords

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 i don’t know Cif it was real or in aAm dream

 lately Dmwaking up i’m not sure where i’ve Fbeen G

 there was a Ctable set for six and five were Amthere

 i stood outDmside and kept my eyes upon that eFmpty chairG

there was steam on the windows from the kitchen

laughter like the language i once spoke with ease

but i’m made mute by the virtue of decision

i choose most of your life goes on without me

Chorus

Dmoh the fear i’ve FknownG

 that i might rCeap the praise of Amstrangers

 and eFnd up on my oGwn

 and Dmall i’ve sown was a Fsong

 but mGaybe i was wrong Dm

Verse 2

i said to you the one gift i'd adore

is a package of the next 10 years as they're unfolding

"package of the next 10 years unfolding"

but you told me if i had my way i’d be bored

and i knew enough to bless one of your scoldings

when we last talked we were lying on our backs

"lying on our backs"

looking up at the sky we were looking through the ceiling

"looking at the sky" "looking through the ceiling"

i used to lie like that alone out on the driveway

i was trying to read the greek upon the stars the alphabet of feeling

Chorus 2

oh i knew back then

it was a calling that said if joy then pain

the sound of the voice these years later

is still the same

Solo

verse 3 accapello

i am alone in a hotel room tonight

i squeeze the sky out but there’s not a star appears

begin my studies with this paper and this pencil

and i’m working through the grammar of my fears

Chorus 3

oh mercy me what i won't give

"oh mercy save me"

to have the things that mean the most

not to be the things i'd miss

the unforgiving choice still is

"unforgiving

the language or the kiss

yes it is

thanks yall (obligatory)
