"Splintered Fence"
by Michael Trent
'The Winner'
C
Your Cmouth, it is an Gocean
But your Feyes, they are a Amstorm
And though Cnot a word's been Gspoken
I Ffeel I Ghave been Cwarned
For there's a Ccardinal in the Gdogwood
There's a Fraven in the Amair
But this Cballroom is full of Gvultures
Why would I Fever Gmeet you Cthere
That kind of Flaughter brings Cuneasiness
Like Fteardrops on a Csummer dress
Like that Flittle lie you Cwon't confess
Left a Gbuzzin' in your spine
So forFgive me if my Cheads a mess
Or if my Fcadence lacks some Cconfidence
I'm just Fleaning on that Csplintered fence
Wondering Gwhat's on the other Cside
C G F Am
C G F G C
So if the Ctrumpets sound like Gtrouble
And the Fcello sounds like Amtears
Then why is Ceverybody Gtalking
With their Ffingers Gin their Cears
'Cause the Cdrums are distant Ggunfire
And the Fvoices shattered Amhearts
But the Charmony like Ghoney
Sweetly Fbinds us Gat the Cstart
That kind of Flaughter brings Cuneasiness
Like Fteardrops on a Csummer dress
Like that Flittle lie you Cwon't confess
Left a Gbuzzin' in your spine
So Fforgive me if my Cheads a mess
Or if I'm Fjust not making Cany sense
I'm just Fclimbing up that Csplintered fence
Tryin to Gget to the other AmsideF  G  
To the other AmsideF  G  C

"Splintered Fence"

by Michael Trent

'The Winner'

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

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

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
