[Verse 1]
Fmaj7                     G6/D
Sometimes it's dark in my head
Fmaj7                         G6/D
Sometimes I give up the light for the monsters under my bed
Fmaj7                 G6/D
And they feast on my thoughts
    Fmaj7                     G6/D
And they're well fed
Fmaj7                     G6/D
Communication is hell
Fmaj7                     G6/D
Get tired of checking the mail, tired of checking myself
Fmaj7                   G6/D         Fmaj7                     G6/D
You bet I'll be in the ring when you ring the bell


[Chorus]
Am              C
But if I let it out (Let it out)
Dm                F                                Am
Vibrations in the throat can convey more than just sound (Sound)
         C
It's the idea (Idea)
        E
That'll cut you up and cut you down

(Cut you up and cut you down)
Am              C
But if I let it out (Let it out)
Dm            F                            Am
It's not just you versus the verbs and the nouns
         C
It's the intent (Intent)
        F
That'll fuck you up now
      Dm
It'll fuck you up again and again


[Verse 2]
Fmaj7                     G6/D
Sometimes the silence is fun
Fmaj7                     G6/D
Sometimes the words taste sweeter on the tip of my tongue
Fmaj7                    G6/D
They beat the bitter of war
       Fmaj7              G6/D
Where nobody won
Fmaj7              G6/D
We were just casualties
Fmaj7           G6/D
In this casual fight, given up so casually
Fmaj7                     G6/D        Fmaj7      G6/D
Sometimes there isn't the time or the energy


[Chorus]
Am              C
But if I let it out (Let it out)
Dm                F                                Am
Vibrations in the throat can convey more than just sound (Sound)
         C
It's the idea (Idea)
        E
That'll cut you up and cut you down (Cut you up and cut you down)
Am              C
But if I let it out (Let it out)
Dm            F                            Am
It's not just you versus the verbs and the nouns
         C
It's the intent (Intent)
        F
That'll fuck you up now
      Dm
It'll fuck you up again and again
