(most of the dyads can be played using the low E and A strings)


         Cm(no 5th)                                            
it's so beautiful here, she says, 
            Bb(no 3rd)         Ab(no 3rd)
this moment now. and this moment, now. 
       Fm7(no 3rd)          C5                  
and I never thought I would find her here: 
Bb5                                    Ab5
flannel and satin, my four walls transformed.
          C5         Bb5   G5          Ab5        
but she's looking at me, straight to center, 
C5         Bb5      G5          Ab5
no room at all for any other thought. 
      Cm(no 5th)   Bb(no 3rd)       A?(no 3rd)      Ab(no 3rd)
and I know I don't want this. oh I swear I don't want this.
          F5           G5        F5      Ab5
there's a reason not to want this but I forgot.

(single notes: Eb5 - Bb5 - G5 - F5 )

       C5            Bb5           Ab5 - Ab5 - Ab5
in the terminal she sleeps on my shoulder,
C5             C5    G5
hair falling forward, mouth all askew.
F5                                  C5               
fluorescent announcements beat their wings overhead: 
Bb5                        AbMA5     Ab5
passengers missing, we're looking for you. 
        C5                 Bb5         G5       Ab5
and she dreams through the noise, her weight against me, 
C5             Bb5      G5      Ab5
face pressed into the corduroy grooves. 
C5              Bb5       A?(no 3rd)  Ab5
maybe it means nothing, maybe it means nothing, 
   C5          Bb5           G5          Ab5
maybe it means nothing, but I'm afraid to move.

and the words: they're everything and nothing. 
          C5         Bb5         G5       Ab5
I want to search for her in the offhand remarks. 
         F5                     C5
who are you, taking coffee, no sugar? 
         Bb5           G5   Ab5
who are you, echoing street signs? 
        C5          Bb5            G5        Ab5
who are you, the stranger in the shell of a lover, 
C5            Bb5           G5        Ab5
dark curtains drawn by the passage of time? 
     Eb5       Eb5      A?(no3rd) Bb7(no 5th)
oh words like rain, how sweet the sound. 
       Cm(add6)  Bb5         G5       Ab5      
well anyway, she says, I'll see you around...
