Like Cursing Kids

Verse 1: A Bm I saw your freckles on the shoulders of a stranger today E A And my heart leapt, my heart leapt A Bm I saw the sickle of your dimple slice the side of her face E A And my heart leapt, my heart leapt A Bm But then she faced me while we wrestled for our place on the train D E Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way A Bm You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today E A So my heart keeps leapin' on Verse 2: I tried to catch you in a couplet on my 4-track today But my tongue tied, my tongue tied I couldn't figure how to fit you on the spin of the tape So my tongue tied, my tongue tied The words are small and insignificant,confused and cliche I saw my promise and potential through my guilt and my shame I couldn't catch that in a couplet on my best goddamn day My tied tongue tumbles on Chorus: Dm A Shake and shiver Bm A E And laugh like cursing kids Dm A And all our fitful failures Bm A E Fit everytime we kiss A So cross your fingers, place your bets Bm And hold that glow in your face E A Let my big mouth ramble on Interlude Repeat Chorus
