Splintered Fence

C G Your mouth, it is an ocean F Am But your eyes, they are a storm C G And though not a word's been spoken F G C I feel I have been warned C G For there's a cardinal in the dogwood F Am There's a raven in the air C G But this ballroom is full of vultures F G C Why would I ever meet you there F C That kind of laughter brings uneasiness F C Like teardrops on a summer dress F C Like that little lie you won't confess G Left a buzzin' in your spine F C So forgive me if my heads a mess F C Or if my cadence lacks some confidence F C I'm just leaning on that splintered fence G C Wondering what's on the other side C G F Am C G F G C C G So if the trumpets sound like trouble F Am And the cello sounds like tears C G Then why is everybody talking F G C With their fingers in their ears C G 'Cause the drums are distant gunfire F Am And the voices shattered hearts C G But the harmony like honey F G C Sweetly binds us at the start F C That kind of laughter brings uneasiness F C Like teardrops on a summer dress F C Like that little lie you won't confess G Left a buzzin' in your spine F C So forgive me if my heads a mess F C Or if I'm just not making any sense F C I'm just climbing up that splintered fence G Am F G Tryin to get to the other side Am F G C To the other side
