[Intro]

Am F C G

[Verse]

There's a wild thing in the wool-shed

F C G

And it's keeping me awake at night.

Am F C G

A devil in the closet and a feeling I'd prefer to hide

Am F C G

He is religion, he won't hear me when I cry for help

Am F C

He has a vision of me but I am somebody else

[Chorus]

We talk the pillow

F Em

There are times when I'm tied up to the fence

Am F C

And I'm only talking sense

[Verse]

There's a mirror lake before me

But I'm frozen when it's time to jump

It's like maybe I'm afraid of what I'll find

When independence comes.

Am F

You steal my shadow, you make my blood run dry

[Chorus]

C Am

We are true only when we talk the pillow

F Em

There are times when I'm tied up to the fence

Am F C

Only talking sense...

G Am F C

And I'm only talking sense...

[Verse]

Did you suffer as a child,

F C G

that's why you want to make me cry?

Am F C

You are afraid of me, that's why you're so unki...............nd.

[Chorus]

You won't deny it...

F Em

When your child is tied up to the fence

And I'm only talking sense

Lonely when we talk the pillow

F Em

And your child is messed up in the head

Asus2

I'm only talking sense
