Relient K - Bite My Tongue Chords

[Intro]
B A [x6]
 
 
[Verse 1]
        E
I was gonna spell it out
 
In detail but
     D
I dropped the call
           B
Before I spilled my guts
      E
The floor stayed clean
 
Like my conscience would be
                D
'Cause if you heard anything
             C
You didn't hear it from me
       B
I'm sweeping up the seconds
      A
That tick off the clock
                 B
Save them all for later
          A
When I'm too ticked to talk
        B
And I need some time
       A
To search my mind
       B
To locate the words
       A
That seem so hard to find
 
[Bridge]
       E
And sometimes I say things that
    D
I wish that I could take back
            B                                        A
The most crucial thing I lack is the thing called "tact"
                E           D       B
And if you're always so intently listening
A
Then the smartest thing to say
        G                      E
Is to tell myself not to say a thing
 
[Chorus]
                    E
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
                         D
Don't let it all come undone
                           B
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
                           A
It'll just be to bite my tongue
            B
To bit my tongue
 
[Verse 2]
             E
I said I'm always close-minded
 
With an open mouth
          D
And the worst of me
          B
Seems to come right out
         E
But I've never broken bones
        D
With a stone or a stick
           B
But I've conjured up a phrase
          A
That can cut to the quick
 
[Bridge]
         E
And sometimes I say things that
    D
I wish that I could take back
           B
And the smartest thing to say
        A
Is to tell myself to keep
 
[Chorus]
E
quiet quiet
                         D
Don't let it all come undone
             B
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
       A
It'll just be to bite my tongue
                    E
Yeah I gotta keep quiet quiet
                 D
Listen to your voice
              B
Because the power of your words
       A
Can repair all that I destroyed
      E       E   G#  A
And when I finally do
      E      E   G#  A
Let it come from you
      E       E       G     A
The peace of understanding grips my soul
 E                E
You're the reason I
G#     A
Have meaning in this life
 E     E  G#              A
Is so I swallow all my pride
                E
And give you control
                  A
I give it all to you
 
[Chorus]
 
 E
and I gotta keep quiet quiet
                         D
Don't let it all come undone
                           B
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
                           A
It'll just be to bite my tongue
               E
I gotta keep quiet quiet
                 D
Listen to your voice
              B
Because the power of your words
       B
Can repair all that I destroyed
                   E
and I gotta keep quiet quiet
                         D
Don't let it all come undone
                           B
'Cause if I dare open my mouth
                           A
It'll just be to bite my tongue
           E
Bite my tongue
