Intro: Am G Am G

Am
Mother tongue
G
I speak that language
Am
There are no words
G
But there is meaning
Am
My secret love song
G
My eyes swell
Am       G
I’m free

Am
Mother tongue
G
Never betrayed me
Am
Inhale your life
G
One more breath

I’m dancing
Am
Lacking wings still
G                         Am
I can fly from you

Am
I could lose everything
F                         G
Surrendering to you
         Am
Like praying to a god above
F                             G
Who doesn’t even want to know you

Am
Mother tongue
G
Today I curse you
Am
Where’s my voice
G
Have I lost my virtue
Am                                                 G
How much more can I sacrifice for you

Am
I could lose everything
F                         G
Surrendering to you
         Am
Like praying to a god above
F                             G			Am
Who doesn’t even want to know you

Am
Down on my knees for you
F
Your hands crawling through my hair
G                     F
I forgot to be cautious here
G            Am    F  G
Finally I cry I cry

Am
I could lose everything
F
Surrendering
         Am
Like praying to a god
F                             G
Who doesn’t even want to know you
