CAPO on 4th FRET

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

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


G                 C
   After Christmas holidays 
    A/Em?                       G
you never asked to drive me home again.
G                      C
   And sometimes in the staff room I 
A/Em?                                 G
catch your eye with "why'd it have to end?" 
      Em                             G        C
But I know from how you worry at your wedding band 
         D                 G
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~~~------------------------ | 


G   C   A/Em?   G   G   C   A/Em?    G

       Em                           G      C
At the last conjunction, after every other "and," 
      D                G
I was just your little "&."
