Verse:
E A
My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
E A
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
E A
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
E A
And I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
B B/C
And angry like you never were
Chorus:
E
And I ease us back into traffic
A
Dusk comes on and I wonder
E A
Why I'm always remembering you
E5 E/Eb C#5 B5
At civil twilight
Verse:
E A
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
E A
All the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
E A
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
E A
Oh, Ontario, oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh
B B/C
This part of the day bewilders me
Chorus:
E
Streets slow down and ice over,
A
Dusk comes on and I struggle
E A
To stop, to stop, to stop thinking of you
E5 E/Eb C#5 B5
At civil twilight
Bridge:
F#m G#m
Hey, every other hour I pass that house,
A B B/C
Where you told me that you had to go
F#m G#m
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
A B B/C
That I stared at, instead of staring back
Chorus:
E
At you. My chance to say something
A
Seemed so brief but it wasn't
E A
Now I know I had plenty of time
E
Between the sunset and certified darkness
A
Dusk comes on and I follow
E A
The exhaust from memory up to the end
E5 E/Eb C#5 B5 A
At civil twilight
E5 E/Eb C#5 B5 A
