Mother Tongue White Lies
Verse:
[D]The city stays [A]hight all night[E] [F#m]
[D]Lit up and shivering like a p[A]inball table of fireflies[E] [F#m]
[D]An echo of h[A]ome, on the edge of life[E] [F#m]
[D]Shot through the veins of an [A]angel I'm a devil in exile[E] [F#m]
Chorus:
[Bm]But if you have for[D]gotten your precious mother [F#m]tongue
What do you think your [E]mother would say of what you've [Bm]done?
[Bm]And if you can't re[D]member the place you call a [F#m]home
Or having trouble [E]placing
Who's calling on the [B]phone?
Who's calling on the [Dbm]phone?
Verse:
[D]Dip the nose in the [A]car to the sugar lines[E] [F#m]
[D]Out to the desert under c[A]innamon hills and moonshine[E] [F#m]
[D]He said: "what can I [A]do to make you mine?"[E] [F#m]
[D]Kiss out the twang from my [A]lips on the way to big-time[E] [F#m]
Chorus:
[Bm]But if you have for[D]gotten your precious mother [F#m]tongue
What do you think your [E]mother would say of what you've [Bm]done?
[Bm]And if you can't re[D]member the place you call a [F#m]home
Or having trouble [E]placing
Who's calling on the [B]phone?
Who's calling on the [Dbm]phone?
Bridge:
[D] [A] [E] [F#m]
[D] [A] [E] [F#m]
Forgot your [Bm]mother t[D]ongue
Forgot your [F#m]mother [E]tongue
Forgot your [Bm]mother t[D]ongue
Forgot your [F#m]mother [E]tongue
Chorus:
[Bm]But if you have for[D]gotten your precious mother [F#m]tongue
What do you think your [E]mother would say of what you've [Bm]done?
[Bm]And if you can't re[D]member the place you call a [F#m]home
Or having trouble [E]placing
Who's calling on the [B]phone?
Who's calling on the [Dbm]phone?
[Bm]But if you have for[D]gotten your precious mother [F#m]tongue
What do you think your [E]mother would say of what you've [Bm]done?
[Bm]And if you can't re[D]member the place you call a [F#m]home
Or having trouble [E]placing
Who's calling on the [B]phone?
Who's calling on the [Dbm]phone?
