a word in spanish



if you cant comprehend
or read it in my eyes
if you dont understand this love
in a thin disguise
and what it takes to move you
each time that you resist
is more than just a pretty face
to prove that i exist

Dm                       G
when manners make no difference
C6
and my gifts all lay undone
Dm
i trade my accent in on chance
    B7                E
and fall back on a foreign tounge
