Straight Lines

STRAIGHT LINES (Suzanne Vega)
E|-----------------------------| 

[It was next-to-impossible to 
accurately depict the timing, but it
 should be
 obvious if you've heard the song.  
Ds4 is actually Dsus4, and Ds9 is 
Dsus9.]

D      D - Ds4         D     Ds9 - D
 - Ds4
[intro]
D      Ds9 - D - Ds4         D     
Ds9 - D - Ds4
[intro]

                Ds9 - D - Ds4       
           Ds9 - D - Ds4
There's a sound               across
 the alley
              Ds9 - D - Ds4         
      Ds9 - D - Ds4
Of cold metal               touching
 skin
            D   Ds9 - D - Ds4       
             D      Ds9 - D - Ds4
And you can see               if you
 look in her window
D     Ds9 - D - Ds4               D 
    Ds9 - D - Ds4
  That she has gone and cut her hair
 again

            D     Ds9 - D - Ds4     
   D     Ds9 - D - Ds4

Straaaaaight lines

Eb                              
  Those soft golden lights in the 
   F
morning
Eb                      F
  Are now on her wooden floor
Eb                                
  The wind has swept them through 
      F
the apartment, she won't need them
Gm       F        Eb       Ds4
Anymore, anymore, anymore


She's cut down on her lovers
Though she still dreams of them at 
night
She's growing straight lines where 
once were flowers
She is streamlined, she is taking 
the shade down from the light

To see the straight lines
Straaaaaight lines

She wants to cut through the circles
That she has lived in before
She wants to finally kill the 
delusions, she won't need them
Anymore, anymore, anymore

There's a sound across the alley
Of cold metal too close to the bone
And you can see if you look in her 
window
The face of a woman finally alone

Behind straight lines
Straaaaaight lines
Behind straight lines
Straaaaaight lines
