Mother Tongue Chords

(ver. 1)
White Lies
F              C               G-Am
The city stays high, all night
F
Lit up and shivering
       C                         G-Am
Like a pinball table of fireflies
F                C                  G-Am
An echo of home, on the edge of life
F                            C
Shot through the veins of an angel
                    G-AM G
I'm a devil in exile

D                  F
But if you have forgotten
                     AM
Your precious mother tongue
                       G
What do you think your mother
                         D
Would say of what you've done?
                 F
And if you can't remember the place
           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
                     D        Am G
Who's calling on the phone...

F C G-AM

F                   C                      G-Am
Dip the nose of the car to the sugar lines
F
Out to the desert
      C                            G-Am
Under cinnamon hills and moonshine
F                   C                    G-Am
He said 'what can I do to make you mine?'
F                          C
Kiss out the twang from my lips
                      G-Am G
On the way to big-time


D                  F
But if you have forgotten
                     AM
Your precious mother tongue
                       G
What do you think your mother
                         D
Would say of what you've done?
                 F
And if you can't remember the place
           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
                     D        Am G
Who's calling on the phone...

BRIDGE
D F Am C

            F      Am
Forgot your mother tongue
            G      D
Forgot your mother tongue
            F      Am
Forgot your mother tongue
            G      D
Forgot your mother tongue

D                  F
But if you have forgotten
                     AM
Your precious mother tongue
                       G
What do you think your mother
                         D
Would say of what you've done?
                 F
And if you can't remember the place
           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
                     D       
Who's calling on the phone
D                  F
But if you have forgotten
                     AM
Your precious mother tongue
                       G
What do you think your mother
                         D
Would say of what you've done?
                 F
And if you can't remember the place
           Am                      G
You call a home, or having trouble placing
                     D       
Who's calling on the phone...
