Language or the Kiss -- Emily Sailers
(drop C/D tuning, no capo)
(Firstly, the high e string needs to be tuned down to c.(should be the same when
you put your finger on the first frett of the B string, so use that to tune)
Then tune the low E string to D.)

Verse:
...if it was real or in a dream
...waking up im not sure where i've been
i dont know if it was real or in a dream
lately waking up im not sure where ive been
there was a table set for six and five were there
i stood outside and kept my eyes upon that empty chair
and there was steam on the windows from the kitchen
laughter like a language i once spoke with ease
but im made mute by the virtue of decision
i choose most of your life goes on without me
oh the fear ive known
that i might reap the praise of strangers
and end up on my own
all ive sown was a song
but maybe i was wrong
i said to you the one gift which id adore
unwrap a package of the next 10 years unfolding
but you told me if i had my way id be bored
right then i knew i loved you best born of your scolding
when we last talked we were lying on our backs
looking up at the sky through the ceiling
i used to lie like that alone out on the driveway
trying to read the greek upon the stars the alphabet of feeling
oh i knew back then
it was a calling that said if joy then pain
the sound of the voice these years later
is still the same

i am alone in a hotel room tonight
i squeeze the sky out but theres not a star appears
begin my studies with this paper and this pencil
and im working through the grammar of my fears
mercy what i wont give
to have the things that mean the most
not to mean the things i miss
unforgiving the choice still is
the language or the kiss
