Verse 1:
Em
When stunted hand earns place with man by mere monstrosity
Em
Alarms are struck and shore is shook by sheer atrocity
G        Am                    C                E
a cure I know that soothes the soul, does so impossibly
Em                         C
a moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on
Em
Me and my babe relax and catch the manic rhapsody
Em
All reason flown, as God looks on in abject apathy
G            Am              C                 E
a squall and all of me is a prayer in perfect piety
Em                         C
a moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me

Interlude: Em

Chorus 1:
         Em                       Gmaj7
When the meaning's gone, there is clarity
        C                    Am                   Em
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
         Em                     Gmaj7
And it's easy done, our little remedy
        C                   Am                    Em
And the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

Interlude: Em

Verse 2:
Em
What yields the need for those who lead us oh so morally
Em
Those that would view the same we do through their deformity
G            Am                C                E
Who view the deed as power's creed, as pure authority
Em                             C
This moment's silence when my baby puts their mouth on me

Interlude: Em

Chorus 2:
           Em                   Gmaj7
Since it all begun, to it's reckoning
          C                   Am                    Em
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me
   Em                    Gmaj7
Be thankful some know it lovingly
          C                   Am                    Em
There the reason comes on the common tongue of your lovin' me

Interlude:

Chorus 3:
       Em                   Gmaj7
Like a heathen clung to the homily
        C                  Am                    Em
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
    Em                  Gmaj7
So summon on the pearl rosary
        C                  Am                    Em
Let the reason come on the common tongue of your lovin' me
