G5                  C5            G5
I'm standing on this corner.
C5                  G5                   D5
Can't get their attention.
G5             D5                   E5              D5                       C5
Facing rush hour faces turned around.

G5                  C5            G5
I clutch my stack of paper
C5                  G5                   D5
press one to a chest then 
G5                         D5                   E5              D5                       C5
watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.

G5                  C5            G5
I'm weary with right-angles
C5             G5             D5
abbreviated daylight
G5                          D5         E5                D5               C5
and waiting for a winter to be done.

G5            C5            G5
Why do I still see you
C5                           G5                 D5
in every mirrored window
G5                       D5               E5               D5                       C5
in all that I could never overcome?

       C5                      G5    
How I don't know what I should do 
       C5                        G5
with my hands when I talk to you.
      C5                                G5
How you don't know where you should look 
     D5             C5     G5
so you look at my hands.
       C5                                 G5
How movements rise and then dissolve 
 C5                       G5
melted by our shallow breath.
        C5                    G5
How causes dance away from me.
   D5          A5         C5         D5          G5
I am your pamphleteer.

G5                  C5                 G5
I walk this room in time to 
C5                               G5             D5
the beat of the Gestetner
G5                          D5               E5                 D5        C5
contemplate my next communique.

G5                  C5              G5
The rhetoric and treason
C5                               G5             D5
of saying that I'll miss you
G5                                  D5                  E5                 D5                 C5
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."

          C5                     G5                  C5
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the 
  G5                        C5
feeble strength of one"
             G5                    D5                       A5  G5
like me remembering the way it could have been.
 C5                        G5
Help me with this barricade
C5                    G5
No surrender. No defeat.
C5                          G5
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
   D5          A5         C5         D5          G5
I am your pamphleteer.
