Dm                                     Gm
Trying to think of a way to get started
Dm                                            Gm
Stutter my flow Train of thought just departed
Dm
Taste of mezcal on my breath
Gm
Let me get this off your chest
Dm
Open my mouth,
                                  Gm
all the gems falling out make you lose control

Chorus:
F                       Gm
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
               Dm             C
Got, got that silver, silver tongue
F                 Gm
Drives you into delirium
              Dm                       C         A#
Got, got that silver, got that silver tongue like,

I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
          Dm
I got my silver tongue

Ah ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-a-ah, ahh
Clothes on the floor, but the bed's on the ceiling
Slurring my lines, but I'm nailing the meaning (Uh)
I'll say what you want me to say
But talk only gets in the way
Rolling our eyes, no more words to describe how we
Lose control

Chorus:
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
Got, got that silver (Ah)
Silver tongue (Hey)
Drives you into delirium
Got, got that silver (Uh)
Got that silver tongue like (O-o-h)
I'm addicted to madness, but what can I say?
(Sa-a-ay)
I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
I got my silver tongue (Hey)

Gm A#                Am
I've got nothing on you
    F                  A# Gm
And all the things you do
                          Dm
Yeah, I've got nothing on you

Chorus:
Oh, girl, I've got that silver tongue
Got, got that silver (Ah)
Silver tongue (Hey)
Drives you into delirium
Got, got that silver (Uh)
Got that silver tongue like (O-o-oh)
I'm addicted to madness, but what can I say?
(Sa-a-ay)
I'm addicted to badness, but what can I do?
I got my silver tongue (Hey)
Ah ah, a-a-a-a-ah
A-a-a-a-a-ah, ahh
