Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
Verse 1:
A Bm
I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today
E A
And my heart leapt my heart leapt
A Bm
I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face
E A
And my heart leapt my heart leapt
A Bm
But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train
D E
Kabuki makeup a labret ring I kept out of her way
A Bm
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
E A
So my heart keeps leapin' on
Verse 2:
I tried to catch you in a couplet on my -track today
But my tongue tied my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape
So my tongue tied my tongue tied
The words are small and insignificant confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame
I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day
My tied tongue tumbles on
Chorus:
Dm A
Shake and shiver
Bm A E
And laugh like cursing kids
Dm A
And all our fitful failures
Bm A E
Fit everytime we kiss
A
So cross your fingers place your bets
Bm
And hold that glow in your face
E A
Let my big mouth ramble on
