What's the name?
Therese.
And yours?
Carol.
Carol originates from Patricia Highsmith's novel called The Price of Salt,
following [Bb] the lives of two women,
seen through the prism of the [C] eyes of a young woman called Therese.
Therese [F] is just a really young girl who's kind [A] of alone in the world.
[Dm] She's figuring out who she wants to be and what she wants her life to look like.
[Bb] How many times have you been in love?
Well, there's Richard.
[C] He'd like to marry me.
And would you like to marry him?
[F] I barely even know what to order for [A] lunch.
What you [Dm] realize is that love, particularly between women at this time,
it's [Bb] love without an example.
[Bb] And so these women are really [C] struggling to make sense of what this means,
[F] how seriously to take it, [A] how much it should alter the [Dm] decisions of their lives.
How do you know [Gm] my wife?
[Bb] Carol had many, many experiences that Therese hasn't been through.
So there's a [F] different sense of apprehension that Therese just [A] doesn't have or understand.
Tell me you [Dm] know what you're doing.
I never did.
They're both ambushed by [Bb] the intensity of the connection with each [F] other.
Therese has probably never really [C] seen anyone like her before
who wouldn't be blown away by her.
She's just this, like, [F] goddess.
You're a strange [A] girl you are, flung out of [Dm] space.
Carol and Therese are like somebody lights a fuse on a [Gm]
firecracker,
and it's a very slow burn, but once it ignites,
it [C] fizzles and burns and lights up the sky,
and that's exactly what the [F] relationship between those characters is like.
[A]
Carol thinks she can be in control [Bb] of it.
When you've really fallen in love with anyone, you risk being out of control.
That's [F] the intoxicating [Eb] thrill.
[Dm] Carol is about how [F] truth is the ultimate tonic.
[Eb] Good things may not happen, but you will ultimately become [F] a better person.
Which makes the potential of their love in the future, [Eb] I think, even richer.
We gave each other the most breathtaking of gifts.
[Eb] I want it, and I will not [F] deny it.
[F] Would you?
[Bb]
