Squeeze - Tongue Like A Knife
(Difford/Tilbrook)
From the 1982 studio album, Sweets From A Stranger
[Intro]
G E A
A
The head of a hunt on the wall by a painting
An upright piano stood locked by the door
In through the window the light was fast fading
While I spilt my whiskey all over the floor
G E A
A
Making a mess of my words so I'm trying
To impress the Empress with my wimpy tales
Fanning her face from cigar smoke and sighing
I had come close to be miles from her trail
G E A
G#m A
She was the jewel that sparkled in darkness
G#m A
She was the love of everyone's life
G#m A
She was the catch at everyone's parties
D G E A
She was the one with a tongue like a knife
A
Her bosoms curved perfectly lit by the fire
My mind launched away in a sea of its own
Her grace and her tightness I had to admire
Through a whore's breath of stories I happily told
G E A
G#m C# A
Trespassing my hand fell into hot water
She shot like a bullet right out of her chair
A#m C#m D# C#m
She led me away and I was then slaughtered
C#m G#m B G
By the warmth of her body and her love and care
A
Her tongue cut away and the wounds slowly opened
I lay on the sails of the ship of romance
Drunk as I could be and broker than broken and
The head of my hunt was there in my hands
G E A
G#m A
She was the jewel that sparkled in darkness
G#m A
She was the love of everyone's life
G#m A
She was the catch at everyone's parties
D G
She was the one with a tongue like a knife
A G
Tongue like a knife
A G
A tongue like a knife
E A G
A tongue like a knife
E A G
A tongue like a knife
G A G
Ohh a tongue like a knife
E A G
A tongue like a knife
G D E
Ohh a tongue like a knife
[Outro]
F# E
