Dm           A
I took you for granted
            G
And stayed away for too long
  Dm                 A
I thought I couldn't stand you
       G
Such a violent animal
Dm             A
Living in your darkness
           G
It's like fighting while you're drunk


[Pre-Chorus]
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue


[Chorus]
          Dm    Bb
I've been lonely
          F                G
I've been holding out for days
            Dm     B
I miss your spirit
     F               G
I am more than just a name
               Dm     Bb
Our blood runs deeper
               F                G
Our blood runs soaked in our mistakes
             Dm      Bb
They keep on pushing
              F                 G
Who needs the world to talk the same
         Dm
Oh oh oh oh


[Verse]
  Dm               A
I tried so hard to please you
   G
Be worthy of your prize
Dm                A
When it's time to leave you
     G
I'll miss your brutal skies
       Dm                 A
You'll drape out all your colours
         G
But I'll never pick a side


[Pre-Chorus]
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue


[Chorus]
          Dm     Bb
I've been lonely
          F                G
I've been holding out for days
            Dm     Bb
I miss your spirit
     F                G
I am more than just a name
               Dm     Bb
Our blood runs deeper
               F                G
Our blood runs soaked in our mistakes
             Dm      Bb
They keep on pushing
              F                 G
Who needs the world to talk the same
         Dm  Bb
Oh oh oh oh
              F                 G
Who needs the world to talk the same
         Dm  B
b
Oh oh oh oh
              F                 G
Who needs the world to talk the same


[Post-Chorus]
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue
          F
You're my Mother Tongue
          Am7
My Mother Tongue
                Dm
My Mother Tongue
