Key: Bb major

Intro 1

Verse 1
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
It's a still life watercolor
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Of a now-late afternoon
C C 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
G G 
 
G G 
 
And shadows wash the room
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
Em Em 
 
And we sit and drink our coffee
F F 
 
Couched in our indifference,
E E 
 
like shells upon the shore
D D 
 
You can hear the ocean roar
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
In the dangling conversation
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
And the superficial sighs
C C 
 
The borders of our
G G 
 
lives

Verse 2
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And you read your Emily Dickinson
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And I  my Robert Frost
C C 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
And we note our place with book markers
G G 
 
G G 
 
That measure what we've lost
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
Em Em 
 
Like a poem poorly written
F F 
 
We are verses out of rhythm
E E 
 
Couplets out of rhyme
D D 
 
In syncopated time
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
And the dangling conversation
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
And the superficial sighs
C C 
 
Are the borders of our
G G 
 
lives

Verse 3
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Yes, we speak of things that matter
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
With words that must be said
C C 
 
G G 
 
Am Am 
 
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
G G 
 
G G 
 
"Is the theater really dead?"
Em Em 
 
C C 
 
Em Em 
 
And how the room is softly faded
F F 
 
And I only kiss your shadow,
E E 
 
I cannot feel your hand
D D 
 
You're a stranger now unto me
C C 
 
G G 
 
D D 
 
Lost in the dangling conversation
Em Em 
 
D D 
 
C C 
 
And the superficial sighs
C C 
 
In the borders of our
G G 
 
lives
