TIP OF MY TONGUE - John Hiatt
-----------------------------
E A E A C#m A B
An empty EhouseA is the only thiEng standing
Between ourB lives and thAe speed ofE sound
Some C#mwords Bflew EoutA and made a Ecrash landing
No loBve survived - not a Atrace could beE found
And I bC#mroke your heart with the Eback E/G#of myA mind Am
From the tip of Emy tongueA to the Bend of Ethe line A C#m A B
I walked away and you stood there trembling
Like a leaf in the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering
Three angry words and a love that they killed
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the Eline E7
F#m And you couldn't Bsay how much it Ehurt you E7
F#m And I couldn't Bsee the damage I'dE done E7
A Till I watched Bthe greatest G#love I've C#mknown
F# All come down to a slip of the Btongue
Well I'd take it back but time won't let me
Oh time just takes you further away
I watched you pack a house full of memories
Where did you go' Lord, what did I say'
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the Eline A
From the tip of Emy tongueA to the Bend of Ethe line A
From the tip of my EtongueB to the end of Ethe line
