NOTES:
Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...
VERSE:
Notes:
On the 
D MajorD chord, Lianne picks the 3rd/2nd/3rd string fretted at the 7th fret.
On the 
Gm7Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.
Chords:
D MajorD 557775
Gm7Gm7 353333
Am(maj7) 576555
D MajorD
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,
Gm7Gm7
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
D MajorD
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
Gm7Gm7
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,
Am(maj7) Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7)
There's no pause, no re-wind
CHORUS:
D MajorD
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
D MajorD
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7)
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
VERSE:
D MajorD
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
Gm7Gm7
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
D MajorD
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
Gm7Gm7
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
Am(maj7) Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7) Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7) Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7)
There's no pause, no re-wind, no pause, no re-wind
CHORUS:
D MajorD
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
D MajorD
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7) Gm7Gm7 Am(maj7)
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[repeat CHORUS: this time play D MajorD on "cinéma-ah"]
CODA:
Notes:
Finger-pick as for VERSE/CHORUS.
(D MajorD)
...Where the story goes...
Gm7Gm7
...With the curtains closed...
D MajorD
Watching ourselves au cinéma...
D MajorD
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[end on Gm7Gm7]
