Am             Am/G   D7/F#
Keep it quick, say it brief
        Fmaj7           G     Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
Am         Am/G       D7/F#
Short on time, that's a gift
           Fmaj7                 G         Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

          Gm7    C13       Fmaj7                    Bm7b5 E7
Disparate parts, disparate hearts pulled through a sieve
Am         Gm7        C13        Fmaj7                Bm7b5     E7
Hand me a chart so I know how to start to say this is all I can give
   C              C#dim7  Dm7
To summarize seems incom-plete
 Dm7                          Ebdim7      Em7
How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet
                  Eb7
It seems that I'm destined to fail
   Dm7                     G
To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail

Chorus:
Am              Am/G   D7/F#
Keep it quick, say it brief
        Fmaj7           G     Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
               Am/G     D7/F#
Short on time, that's a gift

Na na na, na na

Verse 2:
Am                  Gm7
Don't like what's revealed here
     C13            Fmaj7                         Bm7b5   E7
When your depth of field's near, it's hard to come close
Am                   Gm7
Chip stones from the boulder,
C13          Fmaj7       Bm7b5   E7
suddenly my vulnerability shows
N.C.
Oooooh
   C                      C#dim7       Dm7
You can crop and trim till all that's left
Dm7                          Ebdim7      Em7
is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft
                     Eb7
Of a god in just the gist of a tale
        Dm7                     G
that is less of an image and more of a thumbnail


Chorus:
Am                  Am/G   D7/F#
Keep it quick, say it brief
        Fmaj7           G     Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
               Am/G     D7/F#
Short on time, that's a gift
           Fmaj7                 G         Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift

Na na na, na na
        Am/G      D7/F
