           E 
What you give 
           C#m7 
Or give out 
       A6 B/A A6 B/A 
Is the only   thing 
             A7M 
That really counts 

            E 
Will you stay? 
              C#m7 
Here, stay around 
          A6 B/A 
And well both start 
A6 B/A    A7M 
Working this out  but it's not just this 

     E 
It's everything 
                                C#m7 
You're so hard to reach. And impossible to really read 
              B/A                                C#m7 
When you're talking with two tongues in your mouth 
                            A6 
And I wish you'd quit this muttering beneath your breath 
       C#m7 
It's killing me 
                 A7M      E 
You've not said nothing yet 

               C#m7 
Who's talking now? 
         A6   B/A  A6  B/A     A7M 
Well I guess Im star...ting to doubt 

         E 
Are we lost here? 
                  C#m7 
Are you keeping count? 
         A6 B/A A6 B/A          A7M 
Are you gonna just       let me down? Well your hearts not in it 

     E 
It's everywhere, It's plain to see 
              C#m7 
You're still wondering, what's underneath 
            B/A 
You're so curious 
                             C#m7 
It's two strikes and you're out 
                      A6 
And Im tiring of this attitude, how you fall to pieces 
C#m7 
Like you do 
                             B/A 
I cant believe you're still talking 
                          C#m7 
With two tongues in your mouth 
      A7M             E 
After all we've been around 
                 C#m7 
Will you hear me out? 
           A6 B/A A6 B/A 
You're the only  thing 
             A7M 
That really counts
