Tift Merritt - Small Talk Relations



INTRO: C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm C majorC A minorAm E minorEm G+G C majorC  (2x)

           A minorAm       C majorC
I skipped a stone and watched it go
           A minorAm    C majorC
The arc and then the undertow
         A minorAm        E minorEm   G+G
Thinking a day is something like a prayer
  C majorC      A minorAm         C majorC
So much to ask, you start it soft
         A minorAm       C majorC
Then the weighted locks come off
      A minorAm         E minorEm      G+G
In the end, you just hope someone's there

CHORUS:
        C majorC   E minorEm   FF
'Cause all these small talk relations
         C majorC E minorEm    FF
Lord, there ain't nothing for real
       C majorC  E minorEm Bb majorBb    FF
Don't nobody here at all know
       C majorC   Bb majorBb FF
The way that I feel


C majorC         A minorAm     C majorC
There's no one to answer to
         A minorAm     C majorC
Just the dark and me and you
         A minorAm         E minorEm    G+G
And all the angels stand around just wishing
C majorC        A minorAm       C majorC
For a drag there of your smoke
          A minorAm      C majorC
A augmentedA taste of skin, a sip of hope
           A minorAm     E minorEm      G+G
To raise their skirts up where no words are rising


CHORUS:
        C majorC   E minorEm   FF
'Cause all these small talk relations
         C majorC E minorEm    FF
Lord, there ain't nothing for real
       C majorC  E minorEm Bb majorBb    FF
Don't nobody here at all know
       C majorC   Bb majorBb FF   G+G
The way that I feel

BRIDGE:
               A minorAm
Workmen in the street below
           G+G
Softly play a radio
         A minorAm          Bb majorBb
A augmentedA hymn of static through the traffic
                FF
The crowd just turns to leave
                E minorEm
The secret current underneath
             G+G
Cannot be heard above the racket


CHORUS:
        C majorC   E minorEm   FF
Of all of these small talk relations
       C majorC E minorEm     FF
I can't hear one thing for real
       C majorC  E minorEm Bb majorBb    FF
Don't nobody here at all know
       C majorC   Bb majorBb FF
The way that I feel, oh oh


OUTRO:
   C majorC Bb majorBb FF
    Oh oh
   C majorC Bb majorBb  FF   C majorC
