Studying Politics Acoustic by Emery [Verse 1]

G#m
It’s like a pencil with erasers at both ends

I want it all but we’re dealing in percents

E
And these activities that you have engaged in

This is the politics of seeing you dance with him

G#m
We began with concluding remarks

Pick up the pieces and examine the parts

E
Your words always cut when they're cliché

But here’s my knife because I came for the buffet [Chorus]

G#m
This is the way it goes

With you a part of it Nervously saying words That oh-so-tightly fit

E
A mark beneath the chin (Uh Uh)

I’ve caught you once again

G#m
It’s in the way you sell every word and phrase

And leaving me to know how much the meaning weighs

E
Saying that but meaning this (Uh Uh)

Using hands for emphasis

G#m           E
(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)(Oh Ho)[repeat]

[Verse 2]

G#m
You’d like to think that you’re the best part of me

         E
But I confess there is nothing left of you here (nothing left of you here)

G#m
These parallels and silly games

Hide your face and say the name

E
Say the name (say the name)

[Chorus] [Bridge]

G#m B F#m                     G#m B F#m
      There’s that smile again 

                   G#m   B        F#m
You fake it and I follow you right in

                   G#m B F#m
What a fool I've been

To fall for it each time [Chorus 2x]
