G                  C            G
I'm standing on this corner.
C                  G                   D
Can't get their attention.
G             D                   E              D                       C
Facing rush hour faces turned around.

G                  C            G
I clutch my stack of paper
C                  G                   D
press one to a chest then 
G                         D                   E              D                       C
watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.

G                  C            G
I'm weary with right-angles
C             G             D
abbreviated daylight
G                          D         E                D               C
and waiting for a winter to be done.

G            C            G
Why do I still see you
C                           G                 D
in every mirrored window
G                       D               E               D                       C
in all that I could never overcome?

       C                      G    
How I don't know what I should do 
       C                        G
with my hands when I talk to you.
      C                                G
How you don't know where you should look 
     D             C     G
so you look at my hands.
       C                                 G
How movements rise and then dissolve 
 C                       G
melted by our shallow breath.
        C                    G
How causes dance away from me.
   D          Am         C         D          G
I am your pamphleteer.

G                  C                 G
I walk this room in time to 
C                               G             D
the beat of the Gestetner
G                          D               E                 D        C
contemplate my next communique.

G                  C              G
The rhetoric and treason
C                               G             D
of saying that I'll miss you
G                                  D                  E                 D                 C
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."

          C                     G                  C
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the 
  G                        C
feeble strength of one"
             G                    D                       Am  G
like me remembering the way it could have been.
 C                        G
Help me with this barricade
C                    G
No surrender. No defeat.
C                          G
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
   D          Am         C         D          G
I am your pamphleteer.
