Radical Face – The Mute chords
Chords:
In standard tuning, lob a capo on the 6th fret. Ben is a half step down, so he'd have his capo on 7th. All chords relative to capo. Intro: G C (a few times with nice variants), then strum the G a bit going into the verseEm C GWell, as a child I mostly spoke inside my headEm C GI had conversations with the clouds, the dogs, the deadEm C GAnd they thought my broken, that my tongue was coated leadD C EmBut I just couldn't make my words make sense to themD C GIf you only listen with your ears... I can't get inEm C GAnd I spent my evenings pullin' stars out of the skyEm C GAnd I'd arrange them on the lawn where I would lieEm C GAnd in the wind I'd taste the dreams of distant livesD C EmAnd I would dress myself up in them through the nightD C GWhile my folks would sleep in separate beds... and wonder whyEm C G x3 D C Em D C D GEm C GAnd through them days I was a ghost atop my chairEm C GMy dad considered me a cross he had to bearEm C GAnd in my head I'd sing apologies and stareD C EmAs my mom would hang the clothes across the lineD C GAnd she would try to keep the empty... from her eyesEm C GSo, then one afternoon I dressed myself aloneEm C GI packed my pillowcase with everything I ownedEm C GAnd in my head I said "goodbye," then I was goneD C EmAnd I set out on the heels of the unknownD C EmSo my folks could have a new life of their ownD C So that maybe I could find someoneD C GWho could hear the only words that I'd knownEm C G x7 D C Em D C D The song ends on that very contemplative D.
