Studying Politics Acoustic by Emery
[Verse 1]
G#m
Its like a pencil with erasers at both ends
I want it all but were dealing in percents
E
And these activities that you have engaged in
This is the politics of seeing you dance with him
G#m
We began with concluding remarks
Pick up the pieces and examine the parts
E
Your words always cut when they're clich
But heres my knife because I came for the buffet
[Chorus]
G#m
This is the way it goes
With you a part of it
Nervously saying words
That oh-so-tightly fit
E
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)
Ive caught you once again
G#m
Its in the way you sell every word and phrase
And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs
E
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)
Using hands for emphasis
G#m E
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)[repeat]
[Verse 2]
G#m
Youd like to think that youre the best part of me
E
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)
G#m
These parallels and silly games
Hide your face and say the name
E
Say the name (say the name)
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
G#m B F#m G#m B F#m
Theres that smile again
G#m B F#m
You fake it and I follow you right in
G#m B F#m
What a fool I've been
To fall for it each time
[Chorus 2x]
