Sequel

    G                 Em
So here she's actin' happy
  D                  Bm
Inside her handsome home
    G                     D
And me, I'm flyin' in my taxi,
        C  Bb             D
Takin' tips and gettin' stoned.


D                         Am
I got into town a little early.
      D             Am            
Had eight hours to kill before the
  D      Am
 show,
           D            Am     
First I thought about heading up 
    D          Am
north of the bay
        C           Bb     D     
Then I knew where I had to go.
   Am - D - Am



     D                      Am
I thought about taking a limousine
        D           Am
Or at least a fancy car.
        D                Am
But I ended up taking a taxi
         C          Bb        D  
'Cause that's how I got this far.
    Am - D - Am



          G                      
You see, ten years ago it was the 
  Em7
front seat
  D                            Bm
Drivin' stoned and feelin' no pain.
     G                       D
Now here I am straight and sittin' 
in the back
           C       Bb     D     
Hitting Sixteen Parkside Lane.
Am - D - Am

       E             Bm7     
The driveway was the same as I 
E     Bm7
remembered
        E                Bm7      
And a butler came and answered the
  E     Bm7
 door.
          E       Bm7           E
He just shook his head when I 
       Bm7
asked for her
                D7          Am
And said "She doesn't live here 
     E
anymore."


D7 - Am - E

          E       Bm7       
But he offered to give me the 
     E      Bm7
address
                   E         
That they were forwarding her 
   Bm7   E    Bm7
letters to
        E             Bm7         
I just took it and returned to the
   E
 cabbie
    Bm7         D7        Am      
And said "I got one more fare for 
 E
you."

            E                   G
And so we rolled back into the city
         A                 C
Up to a five story old brownstone
            D                      
I rang the bell that had her name 
         E
on the mailbox.
      D7    Am              E
The buzzer said somebody's home.


(finger picked, not strummed)
(D7 - Am - E - D7 - Am - E )


         E                     
And the look on her face as she 
   G
opened the door
             A                
Was like an old joke told by a 
   C
friend.
            D                      
It'd taken ten more years but she'd
   E
 found her smile
        D7          Am            
And I watched the corners start to
  E       E7
 bend


         A                  F#m
And she said, "How are you Harry?
        E               E7 (5th 
fret)     E7sus (5th fret)
Haven't we played this scene        
     before?"
   A                     E
I said "It's so good to see you, Sue
        D7          Am        E
Had to play it out just once more."
 D7          Am        E
Play it out just once more.


E - Bm7 - E - Bm7 - D7 - Am - E

                E
She said I've heard you flying high 
on my radio
             E
I answered "It's not all it seems"
                   E
That's when she laughed and she 
said, "It's better sometimes
         D7           Am     
When we don't get to touch our 
    E
dreams.'



(finger picked, not strummed)
(D7 - Am - E - D7 - Am - E)


                A                
That's when I asked her where was 
        F#m
that actress
     E                E7 (5th fret) 
    E7sus (5th fret)
She said "That was somebody         
    else"
             A                     
And then I asked her why she looked
      E
 so happy now
        D7                          
              E (4th fret)
She said "I finally like myself, at 
last I like myself."


B6 - Bm6 - Bm6/9 - A6 - Am6 - Am - E

        E
So we talked all through that 
afternoon
  B6
Talking about where we'd been
    Bm6
We talked of the tiny difference
         Bm6/9
Between ending and starting to 
begin.


     A6
We talked because talking tells you 
things.
               Am6
Like what you really are thinking 
about.
       Am
But sometimes you can't find what 
you're feeling
 E
Till all the words run out.



(E - Bm7 - E - Bm7 - E - Bm7 - E - 

Bm7)



       E          Bm7       
So I asked her to come to the 
     E      Bm7
concert.
     E      Bm7           E       
She said "No, I work at night."
Bm7

                 E        Bm7     
I said, "We've gotten too damn 
        E     Bm7
good at leaving, Sue"
            D7      Am     E
She said, "Harry, you're right"


(finger picked, not strummed)
D7 - Am - E - D7 - Am - E


       A               F#m
Don't ask me if I made love to her
          E         E7 (5th fret)   
  E7sus (5th fret)
Or which one of us started to       
  cry
       A                           
Don't ask me why she wouldn't take 
      E
the money that I left
        D7       Am       E
If I answered at all I'd lie.

D7 - Am - E
C - Bb - D - Am - D - Am

        D          Am        D   
So I thought about her as I sang 
      Am
that night
              D            Am  
And how the circle keeps rolling 
    D        Am
around.
       D           Am     
How I act as I'm facing the 
      D        Am
footlights
                C          Bb     
And how she's flying with both 
           D      Am - D - Am
feet on the ground


    G                         Em
I guess it's a sequel to our story
            D                      
From the journey 'tween heaven and 
 Bm
hell
      G                            
With half the time thinking of what
   D
 might have been
     C     Bb              D    
And half thinkin' just as well
Am - D - Am

         Em   A         D     Am -
I guess only time will tell.
