Stupid Mouth Shut

([Cadd9] = x32033)
([Dsus2] = xx0230)
([Am7]   = x02010)

[G]the sidewalk bends where your [Cadd9]house [G]ends
like the neighborhood is on its k[Cadd9]nees   [G]
you're surrounded by a chain-link[Cadd9] fence [G]
that keeps me out but lets me see       [Cadd9]
[G]well i come by most every [Cadd9]night [G]
[G]the shutters pounding in the[Cadd9] breeze     [G]
[G]a clothesline strung like paper ki[Cadd9]tes     [G]
[G]that blow my words right back at[Cadd9] me
back at [G]me

but some[Am7]day when my heart exhales
i'll tell you everything
these sw[Dsus2]eet words spilling all a[C]bout us
i'll say[Am7] please please be with me
and i'll breath so easily
but inst[Dsus2]ead i'm turning blue
i look at you
and keep my stupid mouth[G] shut

the hall light streams out through the screens
and the shadows capture me in webs
just tangled up in what i've seen
and every word i have not said
i have not said

cuz the sidewalk bends where your house ends
like the neighborhood is on its knees
