Lyrics

[Intro]
| Em | D | C  | G |
| Bm | C | Bm | C |

[Verse 1]
Em             D                    C
  I wish I knew which button to push
             G       Bm
Then I'd know how to please you,
C     Bm          C Em
 it's sad but true
          D                      C
I'll just listen in down the line
             G           Bm              C     Bm
While you're busy mixing grape with grain to sedate your
    C
pain

[Chorus]
Am       Bm7           C            G
Songbird,   you've got tales to tell
    Am             Bm7               C           G D/F# Em
How many times can you describe your living hell?

[Bridge]
        | D | D7 |

[Verse 2]
Em                D                  C
  The sweeping gesture creates a fuss
          G             Bm
It's only useful when receiving praise,
C          Bm          C
 relieving noone's pain
Em                      D                   C
  If you'd let somebody love you just enough
           G                Bm           C          Bm
You'd have everything you'd need to break free from all
your pain
C

[Chorus]
Am       Bm7           C            G
Songbird,   you've got tales to tell
    Am             Bm7               C           G D/F# Em
How many times can you describe your living hell?
