CAPO on 4th FRET

G5                       C5
   So I'm the first one in again, 
         Am?                        G5
with the quiet and the window growing snow. 
G5                          C5                     Am?
   When I hear the furnace rouse itself from its slumber, 
                   G5
somehow suddenly I know, 
      E5                              G5           C5
as my eye stops on one curled up in my lesson plan, 
         D5                G5
that I'm just your little "&."

 
G5                                  C5
   When your voice springs from the intercom 
    Am?                              G5
with announcements and reminders and a prayer, 
G5                    C5
   I remember how you made me feel 
      Am?                          G5
I was funny, I was thoughtful, I was rare. 
             E5                                      G5      C5
But like the jokes about my figure kids think I don't understand,
            D5                 G5
 I know I'm just your little "&." 


G5                 C5
   After Christmas holidays 
    Am?                       G5
you never asked to drive me home again.
G5                      C5
   And sometimes in the staff room I 
Am?                                 G5
catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?" 
      E5                             G5        C5
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band 
         D5                 G5
that I'm just your little "&." 


For this bit you the piano goes something along the lines of (relative to capo); 
just fool around with it:

e | ----3-2-----3-2------------- | 
B | -------3--------3~~~0-3-0~~~ | 
G | 0~~~------------------------ | 


G5   C5   Am?   G5   G5   C5   Am?    G5

       E5                           G5      C5
At the last conjunction, after every other "and," 
      D5                G5
I was just your little "&."
