Tom: D
G B
Slow down we can talk it out
Em D
we'll back-track, relax and track it down
G B
how I carve out a space for this
Em D
To hold a job and have a hobby that’s expensive as it is
G B Em
My neighbors all complain about the noise I make
D
I piped down and I haven't made a peep though
G B
but I've found my voice in this random noise
Em D
so sit back now and welcome to the peep show
[Chorus]
G B Em
I've been making up words
D G
at the top of my lungs
B Em
at the tip of my tongue
D
ease up, and leave me some
G B Em
I've been making up words
D G B Em D
'cause there aren't anymore
[Verse]
G B
Untwist From the sounds of it
Em D
I've missed half the point but I got the gist, no I
G B
Now I know what my next step is
Em D
find the perfect words if they exist
G B
Is it words for love? Is it words for pain?
Em D
and do I stop when they sound the same
G B
or is it better that I pander to the people who will listen
Em D
or do I pivot, go 180, just to prove I can be different?
[Chorus]
G B Em
I've been making up words
D G
at the top of my lungs
B Em
at the tip of my tongue
D
ease up, and leave me some
G B Em
I've been making up words
D G B Em D
'cause there aren't anymore
[Verse]
G B
Refresh, give me time to rest
Em D
to recharge my search for a sound that's fresh
G B
I don't mean to be so down or pessimistic
Em D
like an ivy on my skin I can't resist the urge to itch
G B
with a simple little hobby all I do is stitch together
Em D
clever words and sounds, record, promote design and finally pitch it
G B
and I'm like "please share, please like and subscribe"
Em D
but all I want to do is leave this unrelated stuff behind
G B
but at the same time, I want to reach a million people
Em D
now I'm feeling like a thousands out of reach if I don't keep up
G B
with the trending times, a brand new state
Em D
a new bandwagon with some new paint - well here's my new way
G B
Maybe I'm not trending up on twitter
Em D
and the only one's I'll reach will be my mom and baby sister
G B
maybe I'm not bound for money or fame
Em D
but my music wouldn't fit inside a status or a hash-tag!
[Chorus]
G B Em
I've been making up words
D G
at the top of my lungs
B Em
at the tip of my tongue
D
ease up, and leave me some
G B Em
I've been making up words
D
'cause there aren't anymore
G C G C G C G x2

[Chorus]
A C# F#m
I've been making up words
E A
at the top of my lungs
C# F#m
at the tip of my tongue
E
ease up, and leave me some
[Ending]
A C#
I'll plagiarize the chorus from the beating in my chest
F#m E
I'll take my inspiration from the cadence of my breath
A C#
I'm searching for a rhythm in the cracking of my knuckles
N.C.
they asked me for a title, said I'm Torn Between a Couple
A C#
taking aim and aiming up, its second nature, off the cuff
F#m E
I'm vaguely masquerading and I'm faking that I'm brave enough,
A C#
I'm shakin' up the achey stuff, I'm waking all the neighbors up
F#m E A
there ain't enough to waste it cuz I'm savin up and makin' up words
