Chords with lyrics

Standard Tuning

The intro is the A augmentedA chord over and over with an E MajorE mixed in

 A augmentedA                   E MajorE
i want to call requests through heating-vents,
  D MajorD                   A augmentedA
and hear them answered with a whispered, "no."
  A augmentedA                 E MajorE
to crack the code of muscle, slacken, tense.
  D MajorD               A augmentedA
let every second step in boots on snow
A augmentedA                    E MajorE
complete your name with accents i can't place,
   D MajorD              A augmentedA
that stumble where the syllables combine.
   A augmentedA               E MajorE
take depositions from a stranger's face.
   D MajorD           A augmentedA
paint every insignificance a sign.

  D MajorD                E MajorE
so tell me nothing matters, less or more.
A augmentedA                D MajorD
say, "whatever we think actions are,
   D MajorD              E MajorE
we'll never know what anything was for."
  A augmentedA              D MajorD
if "near is just as far away as far,"

    A augmentedA            E MajorE
and i'm permitted one act i can save,
 D MajorD                 A augmentedA
i choose to sit here next to you and wave.


The outro is just these four chords over again.
