[Em] [D] [F]
[G] [C] I
[Dm] [C]
don't [F]
[C] know if it was real or in [D] a dream
[A] Lately [C] waking up I'm not sure where [F] I've been
[G] There was [C] a table set for six [G] and five were [D] there
I stood [C] outside and kept my eyes upon [F] that empty chair
There [G] was steam on the windows from [A] the kitchen
[C] Laughter like a language I once [F] spoke with ease
But I'm [C] made mute by the virtue [Dm] of decision
I [C] choose most of your life goes on without me
[G] [D] Oh, the [F] fear I've known
That I [C] might reap the praise of [A] strangers [Dm] and end up on [G] my [D] own
All I've sung was a [F] song [G] but maybe I [C] was wrong
[D] I [F]
[Em] [D]
[G] said [C] to you the one gift I'd [D] adore
A package of [C] the next [D] ten years unfolding
[G] You told [C] me if [C] I had met [Dm] before I'd [D] have loved you better
One of [F] your [D] scolding
[G] We [C] last talked we were lying [Dm] on our backs
Looking [Em] up [C] at the sky, [F] looking [G] through the ceiling
I [C] used to lie like that along the [D] driveway
Trying [C] to read the Greek upon the [F] stars
The alphabet [G] of feeling
[D] Oh, [F] and there [C] was a calling [A] that said if joy [Dm] then [G] pain
[D] The sound of a voice these [F] years later [G] is still [C] the same
[Em] [F]

[A] [D] [G]
[D]
[F] [C] I am alone in a hotel [D] room tonight
I squeeze the [C] sky out but there's not [Am] a star [C] appears
I begin my studies with this paper and this pencil
[D] And I'm working through the grammar of [F#] my [G] fears
[D] Oh, mercy, what I [F] want here
To [C] have the things that mean [A] the most not to [Dm] me
The things [G] I live, this [D]
unforgiving choice [F] to miss
[G] Language or [C] the kiss
