Tenderness

     G
We've come to replace your clock's 
old stubborn hands
    E                 E7       E
We are the answer to why they never 
had a chance
       G
It was not so long ago that the 
world was mostly slow
           E                E7
The age of iron, steam and speed
          E
Turned a stroll to a stampede


[Pre-Chorus]
          C                  E    
But we've come to increase time in
           G
 between ticks
               C              A
And there is romance in the slow 
dances
                   E
'Cause they're fertile in hush, 
futile in haste
                E
These are your nerves, this is how 
they taste

[Chorus]
               D                 
Well I can't count how many times 
               C
I've been outdone by nihilism
  G                                
Joined the march that splits an 
    D
open heart into a schism
      D                            
And I cower at the thought of other
  C
 people's expectations
          G               D
And yet still hand over mine to them


G  x2


[Verse 2]
    G
Travel where you are, tourism is sin
               E               E7 
These are the ruins we left 
                  E
behind, you can't take pictures of 
them
     G
If what they say is true, then you 
become what you chew
       E
If it decays spit it out, 
affectation is a drought


[Pre-Chorus]
           C                   E  
That you wait through when you 
                      G
hate everything that you do
           C                 A
You wanna live outside the groove, 
then fine
           E
But it's there like a flower 
blooming in your ears
              E
Open up your mouth, pollinate your 
peers


[Chorus]
           D                     
Nothing reminds the mind of power 
           C
like the cheap odor of plastic
  G                                
Leaking fumes we crave, consume, 
   D
the rush it feels fantastic
         D                         
But like power turns to mold, like 
    C
a junkie going cold
            G             
I need the fix of a little 
   D
tenderness
