Speaking In Tongues

 C#m   A E             
I guess I thought we were 
    C#m A  E
indivisible
 C#m  A  E                        
Remember when the distance wasn't 
C#m  A     E
insurmountable
    C#m  A  E                    
I'd run all night Just to hear 
   C#m      A        E
you speak in tongues to me
         C#m  A  E               
Now we stare at phones And talk 
          C#m     A  E
in awkward teenage poetry

A      C#m                       
When I get to you yeah my blood 
        B
runs cold
                  F#
'Cos I don't recognise the person I 
behold
A    C#m                         
Underneath the moon yeah we shake
          B
 our bones
             F#
But I don't understand

         B
When you speak in tongues (in 
tongues)
                     A
I can't understand a single word you
 say
                   C#m
Sex and politics a dangerous game we
 play
           B
It's all we've ever known

A
We're speaking in tongues
C#m
Face to face but miles away
B
We're speaking in tongues
F#
I can't find the words to say
A
We're speaking in tongues
C#m
You're speaking in tongues

You're speaking in tongues to me


C#m       A E                    
I confess I    was never one for 
C#m    A  E
waxing lyrical
        C#m A E                   
But the radio    Taunts me with 
 C#m     A   E
its modern parables

A  C#m                           
It don't make sense but it's all 
      B
I know
F#
When you're face down there's still 
further to go
A  C#m                           
Underneath the moon yeah we shake
        B
 our bones
            F#
But I don't understand

A                 C#m
I danced with the devil
B               F#
In the pale moonlight
A                 C#m
You’ve got such a sharp tongue
B               F#
Cuts me like a knife
