Cut Yr Teeth

Kississippi

tom:

G                  A
Cheekbones that shine like diamonds
D                E  Em
Oh darkness, I am nerveless
 G               A
Eyes closed for lack of purpose
 D                E     Em             G
Lack of light or fear that I’ll lose it
 E                      G
I’m still afraid of the dark
 E                        G
You were my light for so long
  E                        G
Oceans deep and mountains tall
 E                          G       F#m
Our future plays tricks on us, huh?

[Verse]
  G            A
Stories that wreak of fiction
 D               Em       G
Adorned, written in cursive
              A
You were a catholic school kid
 D                   E                     G
You kept quiet for fear that you’d chose this
              A
Dimples that cut through eyelids
D             Em        G
Oh, heartlessness is burden
                A
High lows, for you’re uncertain
 D               E                   G
Of eagerness or fear that you’ll lose it

[Pre-Chorus]
 Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
Em                   F#m     B
Or fear that you’ll lose it

[Chorus]
 D               G          Em       B
The person you made yourself out to be
  Bm               Em             E        B
Would feel sorry for what you've done to me
                     G      Em      B
Like scrapped sheet metal shaves ivories
        Bm      Em
You started out slow but you cut your teeth
    G           E
You cut your teeth
    G           E
You cut your teeth

[Verse]
G                  A
Cheekbones that shine like diamonds
D                E  Em
Oh darkness, Ii am nerveless
 G               A
Eyes closed for lack of purpose
 D                E     Em             G
Lack of light or fear that I’ll lose it

[Pre-Chorus]
 Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
 Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
 Em                    G
Or fear that you’ll lose it
 Em                   F#m      G
Or fear that you’ll lose it

[Bridge]
         D                  Bm
You’ve never felt sorry at all
         A                  G
You’ve never felt sorry at all
         D                  Bm
You’ve never felt sorry at all
         A                  G
You’ve never felt sorry at all

[Chorus]
            D                             Bm
The person you’ve made yourself out to be
           A            G
Would feel sorry for what you've done to me
                     D               Bm
Like scrapped sheet metal shaves ivories
     A           G                        D
Started out slow but you cut your teeth
        Bm      A       G
You cut your teeth
