Slack Jaw

Tom: Am

       C               F
I got all the parts I wished for
          C            Fm
I've got everything I need
     C               F
Sometimes I'm above water
     Am            G
But mostly I'm at sea

[Chorus]
     C     
Oh, slack jawed me
 Fm
Can't you see?
        C                    F
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
        Am                   G
And I'm walking the dog back

[Verse]
          C                  F
It's not like I got hurt or broken
    C            Fm
Or ruined on the way
        C                     F
It's an ache and it shines through me
   Am           G
A swallow in a cage

[Chorus]
     C     
Oh, slack jawed me
 Fm
Can't you see?
        C                    F
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
        Am                   G
And I'm walking the dog back

[Bridge]
         C               Am
Is it a sign? Or just a landmine?
      F               G
Or a feeling roaming free?
     C    G    Am    G  F
It's o - ver - ta - ken me
       C                F
Gonna hold it 'til it dries up
    C                    Fm
Or pocket it for another day
        C            F
If it's me I cannot give up
     Am               G
I'd rather that she stayed

[Chorus]
     C     
Oh, slack jawed me
 Fm
Can't you see?
        C                    F
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
        Am                   G
And I'm walking the dog back

[Verse]
       C               F
I got all the parts I wished for
          C            Fm
I've got everything I need
     C               F
Sometimes I'm above water
     Am            G
But mostly I'm at sea

[Chorus]
     C     
Oh, slack jawed me
 Fm
Can't you see?
        C                    F
There's so many rhythms and harmonies
        Am                   G
And I'm walking the dog back
