Love In The Library

        Bm                       A
On the corner of Government and Bay 
Avenue
         Bm                    
The old doomsday fanatic wore a 
  A
crown of kudzu
 D           A             Bm   
Sirens were wailing in the Gulf 
E       A
Coastal heat
        G               D         
And it seemed like the whole world
      E
 was in forced retreat


Paid no attention, revolved through 
the door
Past the newspaper racks on the worn
 marble floor
Near Civil War history my heart 
skipped a beat
She was standing in fiction 
stretched high on bare feet

 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E         A
Quiet and cool
 D           A
Love in the library
Bm E            A
There are no rules
    E          A
Surrounded by stories
Bm    E       A
Surreal and sublime
           D           F#m
I fell in love in the library
Continúa después del anuncio
 E           A
Once upon a time

I was the pirate, she was the queen
Sir Francis and Elizabeth, the best 
there's ever been
Then she strolled past my table and 
stopped at the stairs
Then sent me a smile as she reached 
for Flaubert

Love in the library
Quiet and cool
Love in the library
There are no rules
Surrounded by stories
Surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library
Once upon a time

[Solo]
Em  A  Em  A

    Em                  A
She gathered her books, walked while
 she read
Em                      A
Words never spoken, but so much was 
said
        G            F#7       Bm
You can read all you want into 
         Em7
this rendezvous
         G          Gmaj7         
But it's safer than most things 
     Bm         A
that lovers can do

Well stories have endings, fantasies
 fade
And the guard by the door starts 
drawing the shade
So write your own ending and hope it
 comes true
For the lovers and strangers on Bay 
Avenue

Love in the library
Quiet and cool
Love in the library
There are no rules
Surrounded by stories
Surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library
Once upon a time

Surrounded by stories
Surreal and sublime
I fell in love in the library
Once upon a time
