Artist: Straylight Run
Title: "The Words We Say"
Album: The Needles The Space
Standard Tuning (Capo 2)
The intro is supposed to be played on a glockenspiel but if you’re like me and don’t own
you can play this intro which sounds great on an acoustic guitar. Also, I saw
Run perform this song and John played it on Capo 2, so that’s how I tabbed it. I hope you enjoy it!

Verse 1:
We’ll wait in line for most our lives.
Get out, get in, get on with it.
We always hurt the ones we never really love.
We always think we’re all alone, we’re always...
Wrong... We’re always...
Wrong...
Interlude:
The words we say
Take diff’rent shapes.
(Beneath accordion solo):
(x2)
Verse 2:
We’ll live and die with all the things we recognize.
We’ll count our sins. Stop now. Begin.
We know the words are better left unspoken when
They’ll be right in to tear the heads off of us.
Oooh... tear the heads off of us.
Oooh...
(Interlude)
Bridge:
And you can only do so much
To try and get your point across...
(x4)
Finale:
( capella)
I’ll live and die with all the things I recognize.
I’ll count my sins. Stop now. Begin.
