Chords with lyrics

Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)

Verse 1:
Chord diagramA minorAm
You in the living room
         Chord diagramE minorEm
You on a Tuesday afternoon
         Chord diagramG+G
Chord diagramA augmentedA breeze seen when the curtains move


Hook:
Chord diagramA minorAm
You by the window with both feet up on the couch
          Chord diagramG+G                                Chord diagramE minorEm
Where you sit and you read and I watch you
Verse 2:
Chord diagramFF
From the office the sunlight frames your silhouette
Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramG+G
I think of lighting fireworks, I think of pirouettes
Chord diagramFF
I idly write down observations on the scene
            Chord diagramA minorAm                  Chord diagramG+G
Like do the blueprints name the rooms alone?

Do we name them on our own?
          Chord diagramA minorAm
We hardly live in there


Hook:
                                Chord diagramG+G
You with a book propped on your knees
         Chord diagramE minorEm
Chord diagramA augmentedA breeze seen in your coffee steam


Verse 3:
Chord diagramA minorAm                                                 Chord diagramG+G
I’m in the office thinking back to rules of poetry
Chord diagramE minorEm
It’s fourteen lines, the last two rhyme, what does pentameter mean?


Hook:
Chord diagramA minorAm
You in the living room
                                Chord diagramG+G
Legs bent at forty-five degrees
Verse 4:
Chord diagramE minorEm
I write AB AB, try to find your rhyme scheme
Chord diagramA minorAm                                                                  Chord diagramG+G
I look for objects on the desk with which to sculpt your image best
Chord diagramE minorEm
What would I name this? Could I paint it “Woman (reading) ” “Girl (at rest) ”


Verse 5:
Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7                              Chord diagramA minorAm                                Chord diagramG+G                  Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
I remember it so well watching you shifting your weight, turning the page, I can see it all there
                           Chord diagramA minorAm                       Chord diagramG+G
Inside a living room where only I live and never go in
               Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7        Chord diagramFF
Chord diagramA augmentedA role in name alone


Verse 5:
Chord diagramA minorAm                                         Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7            Chord diagramFF
And I pause where I am for a second when I hear your name
Chord diagramA minorAm                                              Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
Sometimes I think I see your face in improbable places
         Chord diagramFF                  Chord diagramA minorAm
Do those moments replay for you?
                                          Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7
When I’m suddenly there and then won’t go away
                                                       Chord diagramA minorAm
When you’re sitting in the living room reading for the afternoon

Do you put your book down look and try to find me there?


Verse 6:
            Chord diagramE minorEm                                                Chord diagramA minorAm
Sometimes I think of all the people who lived here before us
                      Chord diagramA augmentedA            Chord diagramE MajorE                              Chord diagramG+G
How the spaces in the memories you make change the room from just blueprints
                       Chord diagramA minorAm     Chord diagramFF
To the place where you live


Bridge:
Chord diagramE MajorE
When you leave here
Chord diagramA minorAm
When you go from a home
Chord diagramG+G                                          Chord diagramA minorAm
You take all that you own but the memories echo


Verse 7:
            Chord diagramA augmentedA                       Chord diagramG+G
On hardwood floor in the living room
                                             Chord diagramA minorAm
Tore the carpet, the scratches below that we found

And the wine stain on the couch
       Chord diagramG+G
We got drunk and decided we’d still try to move it around
Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7        Chord diagramFF                          Chord diagramA minorAm                       Chord diagramG+G                         Chord diagramC majorC
And I can’t tell what the difference is between the ones that we made and the ones that we didn’t make
                        Chord diagramE MajorE
They all conjure images still
          Chord diagramG+G                                                   Chord diagramFmaj7Fmaj7 Chord diagramFF
Where you sit and you read in the sunlight aware that I watch


Outro:

And I live alone now
             Chord diagramA augmentedA      Chord diagramA minorAm
Save for the echoes
                 Chord diagramG minorGm Chord diagramC majorC
I live alone now
Chord diagramE minorEm           Chord diagramA minorAm      Chord diagramA augmentedA Chord diagramA minorAm
Save for the echoes
