Capo 4
Standard Tuning
The intro is the A chord over and over with an E mixed in
A E
i want to call requests through heating-vents,
D A
and hear them answered with a whispered, "no."
A E
to crack the code of muscle, slacken, tense.
D A
let every second step in boots on snow
A E
complete your name with accents i can't place,
D A
that stumble where the syllables combine.
A E
take depositions from a stranger's face.
D A
paint every insignificance a sign.
D E
so tell me nothing matters, less or more.
A D
say, "whatever we think actions are,
D E
we'll never know what anything was for."
A D
if "near is just as far away as far,"
A E
and i'm permitted one act i can save,
D A
i choose to sit here next to you and wave.
The outro is just these four chords over again.
A E D A
