Start Jamming...
This is the song that [E] took the longest of all the songs to [Gbm] write and to record.
It's also about our favorite [E] amongst the songs.
It's called The Dangling [Abm] Conversation.
[D] [E]
[Abm] [Gb]
[E]
[Abm] [B]
[Abm] It's a still life [Gb] watercolor of [Abm] a now late [Gb] afternoon
As the sun [Dbm] shines through the curtain lace
[B] And shadows [Abm] wash the room
[B] And [Abm] we sit and drink our coffee
[A] Couched in our indifference [Ab] like shells upon the shore
[Gb] You can hear the ocean roar
[Abm] In the dangling [Gb] conversation
And superficial [E] sighs
[B] The borders of our [B] lives
And you read your Emily [Gb] Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
[Abm] And we note our [Dbm] place with bookmarkers
[B] That measure what we've lost
[Abm] Like the poem poorly written
[A] We are verses out of [Ab] rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated [Gb]
[Abm] time
And the [Gb] dangling conversation
[Ab] Of superficial [E] sighs
Are the [B] borders of our lives
[Abm] Yes we speak of [Gb] things that matter
With [Abm] words that [Gb] must be said
Can analysis [Dbm] be worthwhile
[B] Is the theater really [Abm] dead
[B]
And [Abm] how the room has softly faded
And [A] I only kiss your [Ab] shadow
I cannot feel your hand
[Gb] You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the [Abm] dangling [Gb] conversation
[Eb] And superficial [E]
sighs
In the [B] borders of our lives
[Abm] [B]
[Ab] [N]
