TIP OF MY TONGuE - John Biatt
-----------------------------
E   A   E   A   C#m  A   B

 E    A               E
An empty house is the only thing standing
 B            A         E
Between our lives and the speed of sound
 C#m   B    E  A           E
Some words flew out and made a crash landing
 B          A             E
No love survived - not a trace could be found

 C#m             E    E/G# A     Am
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
 E        A       B      E        A   C#m A  B
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

I walked away and you stood there trembling
Like a leaf in the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering
Three angry words and a love that they killed

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
 E     E7
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line

F#m                B               E        E7
 And you couldn't say how much it hurt you
F#m              B                 E        E7
 And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
A                B            G#        C#m
 Till I watched the greatest love I've known
F#                      B
 All come down to a slip of the tongue

Well I'd take it back but time won't let me
Oh time just takes you further away
I watched you pack a house full of memories
Where did you go? Lord, what did I say?

And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
 E     A
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
 E        A       B      E         A
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
 E     B              E
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
