The Dangling Conversation chords
Simon & Garfunkel

Capo III

C G D G D C C G Em

    C     G   D
It's a still life water color
   C    G  D
Of a now late afternoon
    C     G      Am
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
  G        Em
And shadows wash the room
    G
And we sit and drink our coffee
F               E
Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
    D
You can hear the ocean roar
    C    G   D        G  D   C
In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs
          G  Em
The borders of our lives

    C     G   D
And you read your Emily Dickenson
  C  G   D
And I my Robert Frost
    C    G     Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers
   G         Em
That measure what we've lost
    G
Like a poem poorly written
    F           E
We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme
  D
In syncopated time
    C    G   D        G  D   C
And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
            G   Em
Are the borders of our lives

    C    G      D
Yes we speak of things that matter
   C     G    D
With words that must be said
  C   G   Am
Can analysis be worthwhile
    G       Em
Is the theater really dead?
  G
And how the room is softly faded
   F            E
And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand

     D
You're a stranger now unto me

      C    G   D        G  D   C
Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
           G   Em
In the borders of our lives
