NOTES:
Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...


VERSE:
Notes:
On the D chord, Lianne picks the 3rd/2nd/3rd string fretted at the 7th fret.
On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.

Chords:
D5         557775
G5       353333
Am(7M)  576555
                   D5
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm ,
                                             G5
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous 
  D5
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
                   G5
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,
           Am(7M)  G5   Am(7M)
There's no pause,    no re-wind


CHORUS:
D5
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
G5
Watching ourselves au cin?ma
D5
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
G5                                  Am(7M)
Watching ourselves au cin?ma, cin?ma-ah


VERSE:
                  D5
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
                   G5
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
           D5
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
                           G5
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
           Am(7M)  G5   Am(7M) G5 Am(7M)  G5   Am(7M)
There's no pause,    no re-wind,    no  pause,    no re-wind


CHORUS:
D5
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
G5
Watching ourselves au cin?ma
D5
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
G5                                  Am(7M)  G5  Am(7M)
Watching ourselves au cin?ma, cin?ma-ah


[repeat CHORUS: this time play D on "cin?ma-ah"]

Watching ourselves au cin?ma, cin?ma-ah
