Baby Teeth

Em  G  Am   C


[Verse 1]
     Em                    
Your cheap drink tricks and 
 G                   Am           
cigarettes keep you locked inside 
   C
a cage
     Em                     G     
Your mother fears you, your father
                        Am      
 can't hear you, you're money, a 
            C
voice on a stage
        G                          
I still ache from the night that 
  G                       
you dragged me, kicking and 
Am                 C
screaming, out the door
    Em              G             
But I won't let go, no, I left my 
Am                 C
baby teeth in your drawer


[Chorus]
Em           G               Am 
  If I can't hold you like a 
           C                     
lover I won't hold you, hold you at 
Em
all
            G               Am    
The tide is turning on you, baby, 
           C          Em
and I feel nothing anymore
            G                Am   
If we could stay this way forever 
         C        Em
would it ever be enough?
            G             Am      
I wear your bruises on my shoulder
        C            Em
 now forever and evermore

[Bridge]
     Em                   D       
Your lip got split, spill 
          A                        
grenadine kisses, the codeine kids 
Am
got you down
Em                      D        
Picking fights with the devil you
              A                Am
 know, you've got a real smart mouth
Em                        D      
Driving you home from the bar and
                    A              
 you're touching my face but I 
         Am
don't make a sound
          Em                D  
Lost your baby teeth in the back 
                 A                 
seat, said somebody knocked them 
Am
out


[Chorus]
Em           G               Am 
  If I can't hold you like a 
           C                     
lover I won't hold you, hold you at 
Em
all
           G             Am       
If I don't pull myself together 
         C                Em
this could be the end of it all
            G                
I hear your voice inside the tv 
Am         C                Em
telling me to follow you home
             G               Am   
I taste your teardrops on my 
               C                 
tongue at night and it still turns 
Em
me on


[Verse 2]
          G                   Am  
There are things that we will 
              C
never say, but we know, we know
Em     G               Am       
  Even baby teeth will hurt you 
         C
when I'm biting, biting, biting down


[Chorus]
Em           G               Am 
  If I can't hold you like a 
           C                     
lover I won't hold you, hold you at 
Em
all
            G               Am    
The tide is turning on you, baby, 
           C          Em
and I feel nothing anymore
              G              
We could have stayed this way 
    Am                C         Em
forever but it would never be enough
            G              Am     
I wear your ache inside my heart, 
            C            Em
my dear, forever and evermore
