Better Be Quiet Now
Elliott Smith
3/4 beat [Verse 1] - Wish you gave me your number Wish I could call you today Just to hear a voice I got a long way to go I’m getting further away [Verse 2] If I didn’t know the difference Living alone would probably be okay It wouldn’t be lonely I got a long way to go I’m getting further away [Chorus] - A lot of hours to occupy It was easy when I didn’t know you yet Things I’d have to forge-et - But I better be quiet now I’m tired of wasting my breath Carrying on and getting upse-et [Verse 3] - Maybe I have a problem But that’s not what I wanted to say I’d prefer to say nothing I got a long way to go I’m getting further away [Interlude] | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | [Chorus] - Had a dream as an army man With an order just to march in my place While a dead enemy screams in my fa-ace - But I better be quiet now I’m tired of wasting my breath Carrying on not over it ye-et [Verse 4] - Wish I knew what you’re do--ing And why you want to do it this way So I can’t go the distance I got a long way to go I’m getting further away [Outro] I got a long way to go I’m getting further away.
