[Intro]

Em Em Em Em

Em Em Em Em

Em Em Em E

Em Em Em Em

[Verse 1]

Em

When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity

Em

Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity

G        Am                    C                E

A cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly

Em                         C

A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on

Em

Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody

Em

All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy

G            Am              C                 E

A squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety

Em                         C

A moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me

Em

[Chorus 1]

         Em                       Gmaj7

When the meaning's gone, there is clarity

        C                    Am                   Em

And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

         Em                     Gmaj7

And it's easy done, our little remedy

        C                   Am                    Em

And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

Em

[Verse 2]

Em

What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally

Em

Those that would view the same we do through their deformity

G            Am                C                E

Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority

Em                             C

This moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me

Em

[Chorus 2]

           Em                   Gmaj7

Since it all begun, to it's reckoning

          C                   Am                    Em

There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

   Em                    Gmaj7

Be thankful some know it lovingly

          C                   Am                    Em

There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

[Interlude]

Em Em Em Em G G G G (x4)

Em

[Chorus 3]

       Em                   Gmaj7

Like a heathen clung to the homily

        C                  Am                    Em

Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me

    Em                  Gmaj7

So summon on the pearl rosary

        C                  Am                    Em

Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
