_ [A] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [N] _
_ [Bm] _ _ Welcome back, folks.
Here's the [E] story and performance of Tongue Tied from Austin Alsup and his [D] songwriting
partner and [E] lead guitarist, [D] Jake Pyatt.
_ Tongue Tied, it's kind of written about what's going on [F#m] out there today.
[E] A lot of people don't want to speak up and stand for what they [G] believe in anymore.
[F#] They're afraid of persecution and [D] what people might think.
[A] The message [D] behind that is love is still the [B] strongest thing.
[Bm] Don't let the world get you tongue tied and twisted.
Keep real to what you know [D] is real in your heart [A] and your life.
[D] Keep your friends close.
[A#] [B] Am I writing for this [C#] melody?
Am I writing [D] for a topic?
That song, Tongue Tied, [E] was kind of_
[D] That groove started [E] going and then the next thing you know, it was just kind of like,
[B] it was strong.
So it [B] needed to be about something strong.
It didn't need [D] to be about [E] the minimal things [D] on earth that we have to worry about.
It [E] should be about something [E] big and something that [Bm] hits you in the chest, you [C#m] know?

_ [B] It's like running water through your [C#m] hands.
[G#] Love [A] you can't erase.
_ [B] Oh, it drives you to _ another _ [A] place.
When all you gotta [B] do is lend [C#m] a hand.
Better show some love to all your fellow [A] man.
Oh, all you gotta [B] do is keep [C#m] the world.
You act like you [C#] ain't never [A] heard.
This world has [B] got you tongue tied and [C#m] twisted.

[B] _ Oh, and daddy, he ain't coming [C#m] home.
Lord, [A] what a lifeless self.
_ [B] _ Oh, should have took his life and put it up off the [A] shelf.
Oh, all you [B] gotta do is lend a [C#m] hand.
Better show some love to all your fellow [A] man.
Oh, all you [B] gotta do is speak [C#m] the words.
