[Verse 1]
Em
Too much patience, no resistance,
A
Within shouting distance,
GAEm
You can hear a blind man's bluff,
EsusG
Dragging names through the mud and still biting his tongue,
A
The devil's in the air and I'm spitting out prayers,
GA
While the ravenous all eat their fill,
[Chorus]
CD
Tell me, tell me a story,
AGA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
CD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
AGA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,
[Instrumental]
E A G F (x4)
[Verse 2]
Em
Too much hog wart, not enough hearsay,
A
Always made the front page,
GAEm
You could use a fine tooth comb,
Esus
to get a word from the wise,
G
Would be a welcome surprise,
AGA
Keep an ear to the ground so to drown out the sound of the failures that make me whole,
[Chorus]
CD
Tell me, tell me a story,
AGA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
CD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
AGA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,
[Verse 3]
EmDC
These walls don't talk,
DEm
Even when somebody knocks,
EmDC
These walls don't stand,
DEm
For anyone else but themselves,
EmDC
These walls don't fall,
DGACD
Even when gravity's failing us all,
[Chorus]
CD
Tell me, tell me a story,
AGA
Tell me not to worry, or pick up the phone,
CD
So turning, turning a deaf ear,
AGA
So that I don't hear them throwing stone,
