Mute Witness

	  		

 C    Am   Em  Fmaj7  C        Am            Em    Fmaj7 
Your poor witness,  crying so loudly on the floor   
                 C                              Am            Em Fmaj7 
Oh, well, she's only trying to tell you what it was that she saw 
        C                                 Am           Em    F?7   
She is only trying to tell you,  what it was that she saw  

              F              C                 F          C       
Now see her standing on the table,  with her small arms flailing  
          F           C               G 
And you feel such compassion in your soul  
      C  Am     Em    Fmaj7     C             Am            Em     Fmaj7 
For your  mute witness,  still testing the strength of our patience  

                C                                Am           Em    Fmaj7   
Oh, well she's only trying to tell you  what it was that she saw  
        C                               Am           Em    Fmaj7   
She is only trying to tell you  what it was that she saw  

              F               C               F          C    
Now see her pointing to the frisbee,  with a memory so fuzzy  
         F        C                     G 
And her silent,  words describing the fright of last night  
     F                  C                      F              C      
4am Northside, Clapham Common,  oh, God, what was she doing there?   
           F                C                   G 
Will she sketch the answer later?  Well, I will ask her  

               Fmaj7      C       F  C  F  C  G 
"Now dry your tears, my dear"   
             F               C                 F                 C      
Now see her mime in time so nicely,  it would all have been so clear,   
    F            C          G                     Fmaj7    C    F C F C  G 
If only she had never volunteered,  your taxi is here, my dear
