Mother Tongue Chords

(ver. 2)
White Lies
Verse:
D              A               E   F#m
The city stays hight all night
D                            A                          E  F#m
Lit up and shivering like a pinball table of fireflies
D           A                        E  F#m
An echo of home, on the edge of life
D                            A                          E  F#m
Shot through the veins of an angel I'm a devil in exile


Chorus:
Bm                 D                           F#m
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
                       E                               Bm
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
Bm                 D                           F#m
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
                  E
Or having trouble placing
                     B
Who's calling on the phone?
                     Dbm
Who's calling on the phone?


Verse:
D                   A                       E  F#m 
Dip the nose in the car to the sugar lines
D                        A                            E  F#m
Out to the desert under cinnamon hills and moonshine
D                    A                       E  F#m
He said: "what can I do to make you mine?"
D                          A                            E  F#m
Kiss out the twang from my lips on the way to big-time


Chorus:
Bm                 D                           F#m
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
                       E                               Bm
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
Bm                 D                           F#m
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
                  E
Or having trouble placing
                     B
Who's calling on the phone?
                     Dbm
Who's calling on the phone?


Bridge:
D   A    E   F#m 
D   A    E   F#m 

            Bm      D
Forgot your mother tongue
            F#m    E
Forgot your mother tongue
            Bm      D
Forgot your mother tongue
            F#m    E
Forgot your mother tongue


Chorus:
Bm                 D                           F#m
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
                       E                               Bm
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
Bm                 D                           F#m
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
                  E
Or having trouble placing
                     B
Who's calling on the phone?
                     Dbm
Who's calling on the phone?

Bm                 D                           F#m
But if you have forgotten your precious mother tongue
                       E                               Bm
What do you think your mother would say of what you've done?
Bm                 D                           F#m
And if you can't remember the place you call a home
                  E
Or having trouble placing
                     B
Who's calling on the phone?
                     Dbm
Who's calling on the phone?
