 D                           Dadd9                          
 What was that crack I made? Swung a hammer wrapped in suede
 Aadd9  A   Aadd9        A       Aadd9              A     Aadd9  A       
 Like a  lick from a lunatic beatnick, knock you senseless as I babble on
 D                           Dadd9                      
 I strike between the lines, hissing words in serpentine
 Aadd9   A  Aadd9          A   Aadd9        A   Aadd9      A        
 Back----biter with an appetite, I coil and rattle, then I babble on
 
 BRIDGE
 C             D            A              Dadd9 
 Everytime I add a line, I wish I could subtract
 C                        
 Too late too take it back

 D                        Dadd9                       
 Conversations in veneer, Sandem down theyre insincere
 Aadd9 A   Aadd9                A   Aadd9         A   Aadd9      A        
 Off guard, better check the cue card, Got ghostwriters for my babble on
 D                 Dadd9                 
 So I communicate, Intending to humiliate
 Aadd9 A   Aadd9              A   Aadd9          A   Aadd9      A        
 On attack with a cardiac comeback, You take shelter, I take babble on
 
 BRIDGE
 
 CHORUS
 E                 D       Dadd9     A  
 And if talk is cheap, the price is high
                D   Dadd9  E 
 When I let another arrow fly
 E             D       Dadd9  A   
 Better to be seen and never heard
                D       Dadd9  E  
 Than to babble on with every word

 D                           Dadd9                     
 What was that crack I made? File a claim with medicaid
 Aadd9   A   Aadd9         A   Aadd9          A   Aadd9      A        
 All my rumors spread like tumors, tale and tattle, rant and rattle on
 D                      Dadd9                      
 Ugly as the sun it is, Sold out to the slander biz
 Aadd9 A   Aadd9          A   Aadd9               A   Aadd9    A        
 Gotta keep the tongue in line, Even fools seems wiser off the babble on
 
 BRIDGE
 
 CHORUS
 
 E               D          Dadd9   A                  D          Dadd9    E    
 And if talk is cheap, then why the thrill in an idle tongue that fires at will?
 E            D         Dadd9 A                    D      Dadd9  A 
 Better to be silent and be strong, Than to let my babble babble on
 A              D      Dadd9  A                  Dsus 
 Than to let my babble babble on, than to babble on
