Studying Politics Uke tab 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 clich?
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]
