Someone Took The Words Away
Elvis Costello
[Intro] / [Verse 1] Poor head Can hardly move my lips for speaking I said So what is this thing I can’t explain? I’d blame all the things I feel but can’t quite place Perhaps they’re written on my face Someone took the words away [Bridge] Why don’t you speak up and say what you mean? Summon my powers of conversation I talk to myself I’m fine Am7(add11) When you’re around Then I decline the invitation [Verse 2] It’s strange to finally find myself so tongue-tied A change has come over me I’m powerless to express Every thing I know but cannot speak And if I try my voice will break Someone took the words away Someone took the words away [Solo Bridge] [Solo Bridge] [Solo Bridge] / (add11)
