Roosevelt Island Chords by Eleanor Friedberger

[F] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Dm] We saw a picture of a girl with the same hair and eyelashes that stood, [G] a confident smile. _ _ _ _
[F] Made a great photo but I never thought I'd see her again.
Didn't really [G] want to ever see her again. _ _ _ _
[F] You went alone on the train, it was hard to imagine you carrying a bag [G] on your own.
_ _ [Em] _ I can't believe you [Dm] brought a bag for me.
That day was supposed to be like spring week, but [G] it was dark and cool.
And the sand beds are dirty [Dm] and gritty _ _ under our shoes.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _
[Dm] I brought my camera and I have a shot of us, you and that guy who died down in Philly [G] on the beach.
_ _ _ We snuck your [Dm] merch, it was a similar sort of trip. _
[Em] By the time we took the train back to the apartment, you made me [F] feel [Dm] like I was more like you than [G] like me.
I like that. _ _ _
[F] [Dm] We even went uptown to school, sat on a bench on that designated corner [G] when we did not sell phones.
And waited for our man, [Dm] and jumped on the subway. _ _ _ _ _
[G] _ It _ _ _ [C] always keeps [F] hitting, it always keeps hitting.
It sets your [G] mind, _ it sets your mind, it sets your [F] mind.
_ _ You really have to convince yourself [G] to be good at it.
_ _ It doesn't [F] seem like acting could be better than that, right [G] in that train.
_ _ _ _ And [F] then you step outside, you step outside, in the [G] sunshine.
Can't believe you would ever go [F] underground.
That's crazy.
_ _ How'd they figure [G] out even how to feel right?
_ _ _ Oh, it goes and [F] goes.
