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.

C5 Bb5 A?(no 3rd) Ab5

C5 Bb5 G5 Ab5
maybe it means nothing, but I'm afraid to move.

F5 C5
who are you, taking coffee, no sugar?
Bb5 G5 Ab5
who are you, echoing street signs?

dark curtains drawn by the passage of time?
