Chords with lyrics
Verse :
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
We woke around 3 A.M
B minorBm A augmentedA
Got up and we got dressed again
G+G F# minorF#m
I said, "I'd like to walk you home
E minorEm
And stop for coffee"
A augmentedA
And we set about
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
Collecting up your scattered things
B minorBm
Your coat, your hat
A augmentedA
Your scarf and rings
G+G F# minorF#m E minorEm
Two books, your sisters' necklace and the key
A augmentedA D MajorD
That I'd had made for you
A/C#A/C#
Down at the hardware store
B minorBm A augmentedA
As a gift, that I'd given you for
G+G F# minorF#m
No particular occasion
E minorEm A augmentedA
Nothing special, just a gesture
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
Of my feelings and we wound on down
B minorBm A augmentedA
The creaking stairs were very loud
G+G F# minorF#m
And you dragged your outstretched fingers
E minorEm A augmentedA
Down the walls and all the windows
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And I went first and held the door
B minorBm A augmentedA
It was colder that night than the nights before
G+G F# minorF#m
That kind of cold that steals your breath
E minorEm A augmentedA
Before you expect it
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And you took my gloveless hand in yours
B minorBm A augmentedA
One pocket shared to keep both warm
G+G F# minorF#m
And with your other hand
E minorEm A augmentedA
You pinched your coat tight at the collar
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And I thought it's too cold by far to snow
B minorBm A augmentedA
The sidewalk wasn't salted though
G+G
And we slipped somewhere
F# minorF#m E minorEm A augmentedA
The ice took hold in intermittent patches
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And so we made our careful way
B minorBm A augmentedA
Across the park to twenty-eighth
G+G F# minorF#m
And into Rosa's Diner
E minorEm A augmentedA
Where they kept old coffee hot
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And the sign in front said, "Seat Yourself"
B minorBm A augmentedA
And so we went and sat ourselves
G+G F# minorF#m
And you chose the biggest booth
E minorEm A augmentedA
Because you said, "We are a party"
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And a lonely light was flickering
B minorBm A augmentedA
Something off in the wiring
G+G F# minorF#m
So it worked just like a broken thing
E minorEm A augmentedA
Trying hard not to be broken
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And you said to me, "Remember this"
B minorBm A augmentedA
And so still remember it
G+G F# minorF#m
And though you didn't say why
E minorEm A augmentedA
I believed you had a reason
D MajorD A/C#A/C#
And I'm thinking 'bout that now
B minorBm A augmentedA
As I'm grinding up our coffee grounds
G+G F# minorF#m
In the bright kitchen of our house
E minorEm A augmentedA
As you, sleep in this morning,
