Richard Shindell - A Juggler Out In Traffic


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: Am   C   F   Dm   Am   C   F   G Am

      C              F
I'm a juggler out in traffic
      Dm     Am
Just another clown
         C           F     G Am
Throwing fire at the sky
C              F
You are facing forward
        G      Am
Heading out of town
     Em              F
Just waiting for the light

Dm     F             Dm
Here together in the street
           Em               Dm
The way it is, we never meet
                          Am
Red goes green and you go by


INTERLUDE: C  F  Dm  Am  C  F  Dm  Am


       C                 F
When I go 'round for the change
          Dm     Am
I go from car to car
        C               F     G Am
With my jester's cap in hand
       C                   F
When I tried to catch your eye
      G            Am
You'd always look away
        Em               F     G Dm
Rush to roll your window up


        F                  Dm
I never lingered there for long
         Em              Dm
Time the light and move along
                            Am  C  F  Dm
Red goes green and you'd go by
         Am   C  F
You'd go by____


BRIDGE:
Em                          Dm
Switch from bowling pins to fire
                 C
I did it all for you
Dm
You, gunning off into what future
                 C      G
I did it all for you


INTERLUDE: Am  C  F  Dm  (3x)
           Am  Em  F    G Am


        C                 F
And I'm still out here at midnight
        Dm      Am
Looking for the stars
            C            F    G Am
Through the streetlamp glow
       C              F
Just a juggler out in traffic
       G      Am
With a broken heart
         Em             F       G Dm
For it's later than you know


       F             Dm
Here together in the street
           Em           Dm
The way it is, we never meet
                          Am  C  F  Dm
Red goes green and you go by
       Am   C  F  Dm
You go by____


Am                  C
One, then two, then three, then one
F                    Dm
Atoms round an empty sun
Am                  C
One, then two, then three, then one
F                        Dm
This is how the trick is done
Am                  C
One, then two, then three, then one
  F             Dm
A centrifuge, a cyclotron
Am                  C
One, then two, then three, then one
F            Dm       Am
Glory be thy trick be done


OUTRO: Am  C  F  Dm  (3x)
       Am  C  F
