Sticks And Stones

C F C F C I try to smile F At the people that I pass by on the streets C If you look real closely I don’t show my teeth F Straight line at best, you show in my G defeat F It’s a lonely world F C I’ve got dog hair in the pockets of my G gloves F C I use the same old shirt to wipe my runny G nose There’s cake I wouldn’t bake between my toes Dm You say “gross” F I say “maybe” Dm You say “why” F C Am I say “maybe it’s ‘cause of you making me G crazy” C How come when you move your lips F G Reminds me of bad trips and makes my C Spirit start to scream til I get F G ??? C How come all the bees F G Inside your mouth don’t sting your tongue C F G How can you still possibly breathe C G Am You don’t throw sticks and stones F G C But all your words are killing me C I try to play F With the kids out on the playground C In the schoolyards F I really made the scene when the tire swing C Really hit me hard F G And all the laughter in the air it sent me far F To a lonely place F C G Where connections never happen all the way F C G I just make-believe that everything’s okay F C G All these whispers grow all around my maze Dm From your nose F To my brainwaves Dm I go wild F C Am G Baby this whole world’s making me crazy C How come when you move your lips F G Reminds me of bad trips and makes my C Spirit start to scream til I get F G ??? C How come all the bees F G Inside your mouth don’t sting your tongue C F G How can you still possibly breathe C G Am You don’t throw sticks and stones F G C But all your words are killing me C G Am You don’t throw sticks and stones F G C But all your words are killing me
