Artist: Gang of Youths
Song: Native Tongue
Album: Let Me Be Clear EP
Capo: 2nd

Second verse can be played the same as the first to make it easier. The chord changes and timing may
be difficult and sound weird.. But I guess that's just Gang of Youths.
[Intro]
C Em F x4
[Verse]
C
You are defiant,
Em F C
and I'm a Caustic' for no credible reason
Em F C
You're the nascent from living untrue
Em F Am
Still you cut me just by speaking my language
G F C
Because you know me in the way that you do
Em F C
Though i've nothing to awake my sense
Em F C
There is nothing in the way of truth
Em F Am
Til' you bludgeon my ears with your silence
G F C
And i cut you in the way that i do
[Pre Chorus]
Em F Am C
And i'm ready to lie down on my back by the tower of London
Em F Am F C
And stare into the sun but cause i know you so i'll just say it in my native tongue
[Chorus]
Em F C
God, you know you're the one i imagined
Em F C
Yeah the first and the last on my list
Em F Am
If there's still time we can fix what is broken
G F C
If you still want it well, hey, here it is
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
Em F Em F
From my thoughts to my lips with a vengeance
Em F Em F
From my lips spilling out on the street
Em F Am
But in the light of you only admission
G F C
Are you still perfect and kind as it is?
Em F C
So much more since i've been away
Em F C
Has your heart been in states of sleep
Em F Am
Till you commandeered out starship rebellion
G F C
And you crashed it right here at my feet
[Pre Chorus]
Em F Am C
and i'm ready to lie now with my head face down in the water
Em F Am F C
and breathe until i'm dead but i know you and i won't drown cause you're holding my breath
[Chorus]
Em F C
God, you know you're the one i imagined
Em F C
Yeah the first and the last on my list

If there's still time we can fix what is broken

And build a statue to you in these lines
Em F C
At a moment you were dead asleep

Though they told me that they'd tell you i loved you i said 'fuck you' and 'i'll tell her myself'
