Dumb Poet Lyrics

How do you keep up with your thoughts
D C
When they run through you like a train
Em G
How do you catch them
C D
Slow them down again
C D
I tried to reach you
G D
But you would not come down
G Am C
You always fail in honesty
G Am C
You always turn things around
G Am C Em D
Dumb poet, dumb poet

Em G
Come on give me an answer
D C
Let's frame it on the wall
Em G
Let's all stand back and admire it
C D
Never let it fall
C D
That thin thread of hope
G D
Is sometimes all that we have
G Am C
So give me back my innocence
G Am C
That's all I ever had
G Am C Em D
Dumb poet, dumb poet
Em G
I won't kiss your tears
D C
Or keep you here with me
Em G
I will never falter
C D
I will be outside
C D
I will make this promise
G D
I will never come down
G Am C
If looks could kill, I'm ten times dead
G Am C
But there's no time for that now
G Am C Em D
Dumb poet, dumb poet (repeat 4x)
Cadd9
That's all I'll ever be
