Tom: Am
C F C E Am
I am quick to anger I am bitter, I am cruel
F G C
Insofar as to expect that you'll respect my silent rules
F C E E7 Am
I am slow to answer and I haven't got a clue
F G
How you could look at me the way I look at you
[Chorus]
F C
Use your words, she said
G G7
And so I tried but as I spoke
E E7
The meaning tangled in my throat
Am Am7 F
There's a special kind of loneliness reserved for the ones who'll never know
Fm
The kind of hurt that helps you grow
G C
She took my hand and pulled me close
[Verse 2]
C F C E Am
I can't justify my righteousness yet wear it on my sleeve
F G C
And with every word I worry that you'll think less of me
F C E E7 Am
I can't satisfy my longing to be safe or to be free
F G
So I choose neither and just hope one comes to me
To me
[Chorus]
F C
Use your words, she said
G G7
And so I tried but as I spoke
E E7
The meaning tangled and I choked
Am Am7
I'm inclined to call it loneliness
F
Despite being lit up by the gloam
Fm
We build our walls and call it home
[Bridge]
Am
And I understand that hand-in-hand
Am7 F
With happiness comes hurt
Am Am7 F
And one without the other could never, ever work
E
And it's hard to find that silver line
Am Am/G F
When you don't know your worth (mmm)
[Chorus]
F C
Use your words, she said
G G7
And so I tried but as I spoke
E E7
The meaning tangled and I choked
Am Am7 F
There will always be a loneliness residing in my bones
Fm
It's a part of me, I know
G C
She took my hand and led me home
