Chords for Mary Chapin Carpenter - Songs From Home Episode 17: Quittin' Time

_ _ _ Hi everyone, welcome back to Songs from Home.
_ Hope everyone is well.
We are well.
We are feeling mighty. _ _
And I think I just heard _ a thump _ upstairs and that only can mean one thing and that
is that White Kitty has woken up.
She's jumped off the bed and she is on her way downstairs.
_ So I'm going to keep _ this camera on and keep going but you might hear a _ growl and I might
have to stop and go get her just to prove to you that she's still with us.
_ _ _ Anyway, these are the quirks of _ _ living with someone for a long time.
You learn what their habits are and _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [C] [E] I _ [A] don't _ _ _ know where that all came from. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ I'm not wearing my glasses so I can't even see how long I've been talking or _ _ _ anything
but here we go.
[E] An oldie but a goodie.
I love this song and there have been a lot of requests for it.
_ [A]
It's a [E] sad song.
And there's a couple of different versions of it.
I recorded it as a big up-tempo jangy, jangy.
Oh!
Hold on a second.
[N] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Here she is and she's purring up a storm.
_ _ _ Oh, _ _ _ she's not happy.
Okay, hold on a second. _
Okay.
_ There you go. _ _ _
_ _ _ _ So as I was saying, I recorded this song _ a long time ago and it was a real up-tempo,
jangy, jangly kind of _ arrangement.
And then [A] I started _ _ slowing it down and pairing it back and making it more of a sort of quiet,
acoustic song.
And that's the way you can really _ find different colors and moods and different ways to interpret a song.
_ And I'm going to play it that way today. _
White kitty here.
_ _ It's [E] called Quit In Time.
_ _ _ _ [F#m] _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [F#m] _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Hey babe, [D] tell me what we're gonna [E] do.
It's _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
getting crazy [F#m] and I need some help [E] from you.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
We're so [D] connected that you [E] work hard for me.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] _ _
I [D] feel an emptiness right [E] through the heart of me.
_ _ _ _ _ [F#m] _
_ [E] Pretend [A] and I pretend _ [E]
everything [A] _ [E] is fine.
_ [F#m] And though we [E] should be at an end, [F#m] it's all [D] hard to admit [E] when it's quit [A] in time.
_ [F#] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
Hey babe, [D] I'm a woman, I'm a thing [E] to say.
_ Please _ _ _ [C#m] _ [E]
don't hate me, [D] this feeling just won't _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] die.
We're [D] spending all our time caught [E] in a fantasy. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Trying [D] to keep in mind the way [E] it used to be.
_ But _ [C#]
you [E] pretend [A] and I pretend [D] everything [A] is [E] fine. _
And though we should be at [D] an end, it's all hard to admit [E] when it's [A] quit in time.
_ [E] _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
[F#m] _ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _
_ _ [D] _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Hey babe, [D] I'm a woman, I'm a thing to [E] say. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] Please don't hate me, this [F#m] feeling just won't go [E] away.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A] _
We're spending [D] all our time caught in [E] a fantasy.
_ _ _ _ _ _ Just trying [F#m] to keep in mind the [E] way it used to be.
You _ pretend [F#m] _ _
[E] _ _ [A] and I [E] pretend _ everything is fine.
_ [F#m] And though we [E] should be at an end, [C#] it's all [F#] hard to admit [E] when it's quit in time.
[F#m] You [E] pretend _ [A] and I pretend _ [E] _
everything is fine.
_ _ [F#m]
And [E] though we should be [F#] at an end, [F#m] it's all [F#] hard to admit when [E] it's quit in [F#m] [F#] time.
_ _ [E] _ It's all [F#] hard to admit when it's quit in time.
[A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _
That's [A#] it from us for today.
Thanks everybody [F] for tuning back in.
From White Kitty.
_ [N] _ _ _
_ She's got his bone in his mouth.
_ We'll see you the next time.
But until then, you know the drill.
Stay well, stay mighty.
_ _ We'll see you the next time.
Bye.
