[Verse 1]
A
I was sitting in basil's with a friend and coffee
G
Thinking the world a fine place to be
F#m
When the man on my right got up to leave
G
And left a little piece of his mind with me
A
He said, "faggots like you should be put in asylums"
G
Tell me, who takes the blame
F#m
For his being scared, so unaware
G F#m Em F#m G A D
That he would fire his fear without an ounce of shame
[Verse 2]
A
Whatever happened to love thy neighbour?
G
Nothing more than a worn out cliché
F#m G
Are all men created equal or has this too become passé?
A G
You don't need to open your mouth for me to read your lips
F#m G F#m Em F#m G A D
I can follow the language displayed on your finger tip
[Chorus]
A F#m G
And they don't look before they leap
A F#m G
And they don't think before they speak
Em F#m
They just sharpen their tongues on you and me
G A
Spit poison darts between perfect teeth
You've
A F#m G
Got to take it from the source
A F#m G
And look at where it's coming from
Em A
You're got to take it from the source
A
They're only wasted words on me
[Interlude]

[Verse 3]
A
I guess i just don't measure up
G
Strayed from the straight and narrow road
F#m
So you lock me up, throw away the key
G
'cause i don't live by your dress code
A
That's ok, i've heard it before
G
You can open the wound i feel no pain
F#m
I don't need an armour suit
G F#m Em F#m G A D
'cause you're the one with the ball and chain
[Chorus]
A F#m G
And they don't look before they leap
A F#m G
And they don't think before they speak
Em F#m
They just sharpen their tongues on you and me
G A
Spit poison darts between perfect teeth
You've
A F#m G
Got to take it from the source
A F#m G
And look at where it's coming from
Em A
You're got to take it from the source
A
They're only wasted words on me
[Interlude]

[Chorus]
A F#m G
And they don't look before they leap
A F#m G
And they don't think before they speak
Em F#m
They just sharpen their tongues on you and me
G A
Spit poison darts between perfect teeth
You've
A F#m G
Got to take it from the source
A F#m G
And look at where it's coming from
Em A
You're got to take it from the source
A
They're only wasted words
