Room Off The Street chords by Suzanne Vega

Intro:
F#   D#m  F#

Verse:

F#              G#m
Somewhere in a room

        F#         G#m
With a poster on a wall

      F#          G#m
Of a man with his hand

  F#
In a fist

       D#m          F#
Is a woman who's drinking

         D#m          F#
And her dress is so tight

    D#m            G#m
You can see every breath

          F#
That she takes

Chorus:

      G#m
Every sigh, every sway

         B                       C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G#m
Something's begun like a war

                  C#
Or a family or a friendship

     A#           D#m
Or a fast love affair

Verse:

F#               G#m
The man on the wall

   F#             G#m
Is his symbol of freedom

     F#         G#m
It means he has brothers

F#
Who believe as he does


D#m          F#
She is moved by

      D#m          F#           D#m
The thing that she sees in his face

      G#m
When he talks of

F#
The cause

Chorus:

      G#m
Every sigh, every sway

         B                       C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G#m
Something's begun like a war

                  C#
Or a family or a friendship

     A#           D#m
Or a fast love affair


      G#m
Every sigh, every sway

         B                       C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G#m
Something's begun like a war

                  C#
Or a family or a friendship

     A#           D#m
Or a fast love affair

Verse:

F#                G#m
She leans against him

    F#         G#m
Her dress is so red

      F#         G#m
They talk of the salt

     F#
And the truth and the bread


     D#m        F#
The night goes along

   D#m         F#
The fan goes around

        D#m          G#m
In the room off the street

        F#
At the end of the town

Chorus:

      G#m
Every sigh, every sway

         B                       C#
You can hear everything that they say

 G#m
Something's begun like a war

                  C#
Or a family or a friendship

     A#           D#m
Or a fast love affair

Outro:

F#  G#m   x4
