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
