HALF MOON CAFE (Emily Saliers)
------------------------------ 

[Actually in Bb; capo 1.]
[It might be easier to play this 
with the high E tuned down to D;
 then play A/C# as x42222 and E as 
022102.]


D     A/C#     Bm7     E-F#m-G#m
[intro; play four times]

       D            A/C#    Bm7  
       E-F#m-G#m
     D          A/C#     Bm7    
Like pseudo-believers in love
E-F#m-G#m

                       D           
We've been through our holes in the
 A/C#           Bm7
 walls and the dives
          Bm7            G(9)     
Where you drink to recall what you
     G(9)           Bm   E
 once had a vision of

       C#dim        C#dim       
And we talk of our lives in a 
C#dim   C#dim
prison
          Bm             Bm/A     
Though we both know it's better to
  Bm/G#   E
 be
A           A/G      D     Bm7
Safe within our indecision
     A                     A     
Than taking the risk to be free
E   E-F#m-G#m


And you were to be a great poet
And I'd find my fame in song
But we somehow saw failure more 
closely
Than fame all along

And now you manage a hamburger stand
And I haven't found steady work yet
And we meet here to talk and pretend
That we know no regret

                Dsus9       E  
But how much is chance, how much 
               A
would you decide?
A           Dsus9         Dsus9  
How much is murder of our dreams
  Gmaj9

Continúa después del anuncio
    Gmaj9      Bm   Bm   E   E
How much is suicide?

So you ask of my latest Top 40
And I ask of your latest great 
fiction
As I step outside I see that the 
moon is full
I have to laugh at the contradiction

Well, at least we can laugh at our 
dreams
Though it's really much more bitter 
than sweet
Sometimes through all of this 
fragmentation
I imagine what it feels to be 
complete

But how much is chance, how much 
would you decide?
How much is murder of our dreams
How much is suicide?

[Repeat intro chords with humming; 
end on x02200-x02220.]
