Radical Face – The Mute chords

Chords:
Transpose:
In standard tuning, lob a capo on the 6th fret. Ben is a half step down, so he'd 
have his capo on 7th. All chords relative to capo.

Intro: G C (a few times with nice variants), then strum the G a bit going into the verse

Em C GWell, as a child I mostly spoke inside my head
Em C GI had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the dead
Em C GAnd they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated lead
D C EmBut I just couldn't make my words make sense to them
D C GIf you only listen with your ears... I can't get in
Em C GAnd I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the sky
Em C GAnd I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lie
Em C GAnd in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant lives
D C EmAnd I would dress myself up in them through the night
D C GWhile my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder why
Em C G x3 D C Em D C D G
Em C GAnd through them days I was a ghost atop my chair
Em C GMy dad considered me a cross he had to bear
Em C GAnd in my head I'd sing apologies and stare
D C EmAs my mom would hang the clothes across the line
D C GAnd she would try to keep the empty... from her eyes
Em C GSo, then one afternoon I dressed myself alone
Em C GI packed my pillowcase with everything I owned
Em C GAnd in my head I said "goodbye," then I was gone
D C EmAnd I set out on the heels of the unknown
D C EmSo my folks could have a new life of their own
D C So that maybe I could find someone
D C GWho could hear the only words that I'd known
Em C G x7 D C Em D C D The song ends on that very contemplative D. Tabbed by magicalzebra
