WONT ASK CANT TELL – capo 4
Intro: G E Am D7

G E C D
G E C (Cm D)
Don't ask, don't tell
Let's see how far down into the status quo I can go
I don't feel well
But with my muzzle on it's easy to not let my teeth show

Break: G E Am D7

I like numbers
I gather data, put it all in excel to know my plan of attack
But these tracks
Are hard to follow, If I make a wrong turn how do I find my way back

I remember
Thinking I was crazy these were even queries I could entertain, but
G E C Cm ->
If I let my two sides duke it out which one will remain

(Chorus)
C G Em B (B7)
Am I the rooster guarding the henhouse
Or am I the vixen gonna tear it all down

Am I digging a tunnel to a better future
Or will I make my whole world sink through the ground?
C G Em B B7 C -> D# D
Don't ask, Can't tell
The crash has cycled but I'm still not feeling well

(verse2)
If you asked me
When I was fourteen if I would still have my tail attached
I would tell you
I felt it was there from the moment that I hatched

Now I'm not sure
Easy to muzzle up, don't tell anyone anything since
It's all a blur
I'm scared, unsure there’s no simple answers there’s no simple cure

(Chorus2)
(Chorus)
C G Em B (B7)
Am I the rooster guarding the henhouse
Or am I the vixen gonna tear it all down

Am I digging a den for safety
Or just to spite everyone living above ground?
C G Em B C -> D# D
Don't ask, Can't tell
The crash has cycled but I'm still not feeling well

G E Am D7

G B C Cm
The conversation at the kitchen table
Has gone silent
I know better than to make eye contact
That turns violent

No need to make excuses
(C extra) -> Cm
With this muzzle, I think that I've solved that puzzle
Chorus 3
I will be the rooster guarding the henhouse
And I will be the vixen gonna burn it all down

It's not worth asking
My muzzle stays on after all that's gone around

C G Em B B7
I will not tell you, let's just coexist for now
C Cm
So far this is the way that I know how


C G Em G7 D7 G
I won't ask, I can't tell
What you would really say
It's fine, I'll keep my muzzle on anyway
