Twisting My Words

A E A

[Verse 1]

A                  E
Well aren't we all grown up

A            F#m           E    
We were only children, but who 
        D
knew it then?

D         A            F#m       E
Lovers before we knew anything more

         D         A         
For each lesson in tenderness, 
  E             D
learned on the floor


[Chorus]


          E         D           
There was one about twisting my 
C#m               D
words, to console you

          F#m        D         E
One about hiding the black and blue

    D         A           C#m    
And one about leaving the back 
    D
door open

        A         F#m      E     
For the endlessly running away 
     A
that I do

     A                  E
The rain took me by surprise

A                  F#m           
Though I'd heard a wild storm was
E            D
 coming that night

     D             A       
I've learned to ignore these 
     F#m        E
predictions alright

     D            A            E 
Well partly it's stubbornness, 
           D
some of it's spite


[Chorus]

      E         D           C#m  
But mostly it's twisting my words
        D
 to console you

            F#m        D         
Mostly it's hiding the black and 
E
blue

    D           A           C#m  
And always it's leaving the back 
      D
door open

        A         F#m     E      
For the endlessly running away 
     A
that I do


[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

    A                        E
Now you think you're here to stay, 
it's like that joke

A           F#m             E   
How can you miss me if you won't
        D
 go away

     D             A            
Well darling I might still 
F#m         E
surprise you one day

          D            A          
For each sincere good morning I've
  E            D
 managed to say


[Chorus and Ending]

               E         D        
There's been one about twisting my
  C#m          D
 words to console you

            F#m        D         E
One about hiding the black and blue

    D           A           C#m  
And one about leaving the back 
      D
door open

        A         F#m      E     
For the endlessly running away 
    A
that I do


From you

        A         F#m     E      
For the endlessly running away 
    A
that I do
