Dutch Courage Lyrics & Chords By Jayme Gutierrez

I'm the one who hides away
behind a silent face of undecided things to say,
to break the ice.
and when I think of what to talk about
just before I speak I hear voices;
"Don't say that they're ‘gonna think you're crazy"
But if I could only just find the key
to open up the door and free
a sentence from the evil queen
who keeps them all in, she says…
"you can't take what's not been processed
I don't want to look bad"
Sure I know how
to turn these voices down
but I don't like to see them drown in a glass
so I'm searching for new ways to gain some nerve
but still be okay to drive
Oh it's stopped
Confidence is like a key
that you can use to open
doors that lead to what you need
or what you crave
and you can trespass almost anywhere
if you can look as if you're meant to be there
"won't they wonder who's the stranger?"
Not unless you interfere and give me away
"we won't let you laugh at danger"
Being blase shows I'm not afraid
"think before you do what you'll regret"
What if it's the only chance I get?
"we'll advise you not to act until you've thought it through"
Sure I know how
to turn these voices down
but I don't like to see them drown in a glass
so I'm searching for new ways to gain some nerve
but still be okay to drive
Ohhhhhhh…….
I don't want to care about the way I'm seen
though deep inside I disagree
‘cos ego has a tendency to self-defend
so now I'll take this shield away
and screw the queen and leave me carefree
"careful with the words you've chosen,
think before you voice your thoughts,
lack of thought before you've spoken
proves you really are a fool"
I'd rather say something that nothing at all.
