Civil Twilight by the Weakerthans

For the riff parts (where it says F E D C G etc.) its easiest to play these all on the 
string and move down.


      F (133211@1)                                     BbMy (x1333x@1)confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
    F (133211@1)                                            BbAs (x1333x@1)December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
         F (133211@1)                                            BbAnd (x1333x@1)they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
         F (133211@1)                                            Bb (x1333x@1)and I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
     C (x32010@1)           C/C#And (x4555x@1)angry like you never were;
      Fand (133211@1)I ease us back into traffic
BbDusk (x1333x@1)comes on and I wonder
F (133211@1)                        BbWhy (x1333x@1)I'm always remembering you, in civil twilight
F E D C (try running down the power chords starting on 13)

(repeat pattern for verse/chorus)
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!

This part of the day bewilders me
Streets slow down and ice over,
Dusk comes on and I struggle to stop,
To stop to stop thinking of you,in civil twilight

(run down the power chords) F5 E5 D5 C5 G5
G5 (355xxx@1)                     A5Hey, (x022xx@1)every other hour I pass that house,
          Bb5 (x133xx@1)              C5 (x355xx@1)      C/C#5
Where you told me that you had to go
G5 (355xxx@1)                          Am5
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
       Bb5 (x133xx@1)                   C5 (x355xx@1)     C/C#5
That I stared at, instead of staring back at

F (133211@1)                              Bbyou, (x1333x@1)My chance to say something seemed so breif, but it wasn't.
F (133211@1)                        BbNow (x1333x@1)I know I had plenty of time
              FBetween (133211@1)the sunset and certified darkness
Bb (x1333x@1)                           F (133211@1)                           BbDusk (x1333x@1)comes on and I follow the exhaust from memory up to the end
