Sympathetic Smile by Weakerthans

This song is actually John K Samson's.


F              Eb                          Bb                 
An open window shows the stars shine well up there
F                      Eb            Bb
I clear my throat to hear some sound
F                         Eb             Bb
And think of falling out into the open air
F                   Eb               Bb
Blue-black sky and cold, familiar ground

F                    Eb             Bb
Something always pulls me back
F                  Eb             Bb
Something always pulls me back
F            Eb               Bb      F         Eb       Bb
Something always seems to come along despite the, despite the

Gm              Eb             Bb             F
Blow up dolls of superheroes, sad sound-bitten lives
Gm              Eb                  Bb             F
These crowded streets of empty faces, loneliness and lies
Gm     Bb                    F         Eb
I'm waiting for some sympathetic smile
Gm        Bb            F               Eb
I'm confident it's just another mile….ah ah ah

F  Eb  Bb F


I stay up thirty hours waiting for a sign

Stilted sunlight pulled through old, venetian blinds

Lost cause, a pregnant pause, a shiver when I wake

To perseverance wearing thin through all the noise I make
