Backslide

B5

[Verse 1]
B5
Best of luck, don't run amok
B5
We all get tongue tied
B5
Keep your chin up, don't get 
accustomed
B5
You're allowed to backslide
B5
One and only, God, it's lonely here
              Am      G
On the other side of love
B5
Teenage story in its glory
                 Am      G
God, it's never quite enough

[Chorus]
G            Bm       A         G
My sun-dried baby, permanently limp
  Em      Bm           A
Quiet restraint takes such 
             G
accomplishment
                 Bm     A         G
This airtight framing crutch analogy
   Em      Bm          A         
Quiet restraint takes all the 
     Bm
best in me

B5
And you can tell them you're the 
girl
B5
Who sold her magic for the world
B5
One day, babe, you'll be mine
B5
And I'll be hers and we'll be fine
B5
And I will turn those screams to 
rhymes
                             G
And I'll be cashing in each time

[Chorus]
G            Bm       A         G
My sun-dried baby, permanently limp
  Em      Bm           A
Quiet restraint takes such 
             G
accomplishment
                 Bm     A         G
This airtight framing crutch analogy
   Em      Bm          A         
Quiet restraint takes all the 
     G
best in me

G            Bm       A         G
My sun-dried baby, permanently limp
