Difficulty: Intermediate

Chorus:
Am        C            D
Keep it quick, say it brief
          F                  Am
If it's fast, it will be a relief
           C             D
Short on time- that's a gift
             F                         E    Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift


Verse 1:
           G      C
Disparate parts, desparate hearts
          F       Bm Em7 Am
Pulled through a sieve
           Gm          C            F       C
Hand me a chart, so I know how to start to say
          B          E
"This is all I can give"
C               C#        Dm
To summarize seems incomplete
                              Am          Em
How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet
                    Eb
It seems that I'm destined to fail
        Dm     D           G         Gm          Am
To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail

Chorus:
         Am   C        D
Keep it quick, say it brief
         F                    C
If it's fast, it will be a relief
                         D
Short on time- that's a gift
             F                         E   Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift


Post-Chorus:
                          G          D
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
      F                    E         C
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
                                     D
Na na an, na na, they'll catch the drift
      F                                Am7
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the -


Verse 2:
                        Gm7
Don't like what's revealed here
       C7            F                               C E Am7
When your depth of field's near, it's hard to come close
                      Gm7
Chip stones from the boulder
    C7        F              C
Suddenly, my vulnerability shows
   C                             Am          Dm7
Oh, you can crop and trim, 'till all that's left
                                              Em7
Is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft
                        Eb
Of a guard in just the gist of a tale
         C                     G                   Am
That is less of an image, and more of a thumbnail


Chorus:
Am           C          D
Keep it quick, say it brief
         F                    C
If it's fast, it will be a relief
                         D
Short on time- that's a gift
            F                          E    Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift


Post-Chorus:
                          G          D
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
      F                    E         C
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
                                     D
Na na an, na na, they'll catch the drift
      F                              C
Na na na, na na, they'll catch the drift
