Chords and lyrics for Acid Tongue by Jenny Lewis (key of G).
Intro
G - G/C - G* (x2)
Verses
[G]I went to a cobbler to fix a [C]hole in my shoe
He took one [D]look at my face and said, [C]"I can fix that hole[G] in you"
[G]I beg your pardon I'm not [C]looking for a cure
Seen [D]enough of my friends in the [C]depths of the god-sick[G] blues
You know I[Am] am a [G]liar You know [Am]I am a [G]liar
Am C G*
Nobody helps a liar
‘Cause [G]I've been down to Dixie and dropped [C]acid on my tongue
Tripped [D]upon the land until [C]enough was [G]enough
I was a [G]little bit lighter and [C]adventure on my sleeve
I was a [D]little drunk and [C]looking for [G]company
So I [G]found myself a sweetheart with the [C]softest of hands
We were [D]unlucky in love but I'd[C] do it all [G]again
We built [Am]ourselves a [G]fire We built [Am]ourselves a [G]fire
Am C G* Am C G*
You know I am a liar You know I am a liar
And you [C]don't know [C/B]what I've [Am]done
And [G]by the rolling river is [C]exactly where I was
There was no [D]snake oil cure for [C]unlucky in [G]love
To be [G]lonely is a habit like [C]smokin’ or taking drugs and I've [D]quit them
both
C G G*
But man, was it rough
Now I am [Am]tired[G] It just [Am]made me [G]tired
Am C G*
Let's build ourselves a fire
Am C G*
Let's build ourselves a fire
