THE QUIET GUY WAS THE PROBLEM (Alt 1)
TitanChord
Intro
Verse 1
You been watchin' the wrong man all night
Big hat doin' all the talkin'
He sells shit-talk by the gallon
Buys his nerve two shots at a time
Loud is just scared with the volume up
Foam ain't never been the beer
He counts likes — I count exits
One of us is countin' right
Pre-Chorus
Mama told you somethin'
'Bout the quiet ones
You was busy talkin'
Shoulda wrote it down
Chorus
The quiet guy was the problem
The loud one's just the show
You been watchin' the bark all evenin'
While the bite sat sippin' slow (sippin' slow)
Verse 2
He ran dry of easy targets
Looked my way to feed the crowd
Called me "church mouse" — got his chuckle
He ain't wrong. I'm awful quiet.
The room got smart before he did
Bartender palmed up the phone
His buddies studied on their boots
And the jukebox died alone
Pre-Chorus
Mama told you somethin'
'Bout the quiet ones
You was busy talkin'
Shoulda wrote it down
Chorus
The quiet guy was the problem
The loud one's just the show
You been watchin' the bark all evenin'
While the bite sat sippin' slow (sippin' slow)
Bridge
You wonder why I don't say much
I said it all in a hospital hall
Used up a lifetime of quiet words
On a woman too far gone to hear
So I ain't got small talk left for you
Don't mistake the empty for calm
The quiet guy ain't dangerous 'cause he's mean
He's dangerous 'cause he's got nothin' left
The quiet guy was the problem
The loud one's just the show
You been watchin' the bark all evenin'
While the bite sat sippin' slow (sippin' slow)
The quiet guy was the problem
The loud one's just the show
You been watchin' the bark all evenin'
While the bite sat sippin' slow (you never hear the quiet comin')
Outro
[Spoken, low] Nothin' left to lose makes a man real quiet. And real patient.
Timing is estimated — lines are spaced evenly across the track.
