TIP OF MY TONGUE - John Hiatt
-----------------------------
E A E A C#m A B
E A E
An empty house is the only thing standing
B A E
Between our lives and the speed of sound
C#m B E A E
Some words flew out and made a crash landing
B A E
No love survived - not a trace could be found
C#m E E/G# A Am
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
E A B E A C#m A B
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
I walked away and you stood there trembling
Like a leaf in the autumn chill
Now this house won't say, no, what I'm still remembering
Three angry words and a love that they killed
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
E E7
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
F#m B E E7
And you couldn't say how much it hurt you
F#m B E E7
And I couldn't see the damage I'd done
A B G# C#m
Till I watched the greatest love I've known
F# B
All come down to a slip of the tongue
Well I'd take it back but time won't let me
Oh time just takes you further away
I watched you pack a house full of memories
Where did you go? Lord, what did I say?
And I broke your heart with the back of my mind
E A
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
E A B E A
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
E B E
From the tip of my tongue to the end of the line
