Duet

C
I've been away for far too long.
            F                   G
I've had my mind wrapped around this
 one song
C
I heard last week on the radio while
F                 G              
Driving near that place we used 
   C
to go


          Am              G
Where the track homes all look the 
same
           F                       
With their roofs and the tiles and 
    G
the similar frames
        Am                         
All the streets are so wide and the
 G
 cars are so lame
       F                      
And on every block I heard the 
 G               C
whisper of your name.


           C
I spent so many evenings in my head
    F               G
I'd lie alone on an unmade bed
C
Counting the minutes like numbered 
clocks
         F                    
Should I call, should I write, 
          G
should I read, should I stop?


         Am                    
I'm a child, I'm a ghost, I'm a 
   G
slur, I'm a boast,
         F                     
I'm a prince, I'm a king, I'm a 
   G
rhyme, I'm a ring,
    Am                   G
I'm unable to sleep, I'm unable to 
sing,
      F                    
I'm a desperate and lonely, 
 G                  C
frightened, unholy thing

                    Am        G   
And you'd say la la la I'm so glad
          C
 I'm over you
       Am                          
As you reach for your drink and you
 G                   C
 tell me you like my shoes
      Am                           
And I smile like a wretch, there's 
         G
not much else I can do
        Am                      
I say I know what you mean, yeah 
      G
it's weird for me too
             F                 G  
Besides what would I sing about...
          C
 if I had you?


Kinda sounds like la la la...

Am G C
F G C
F G C Am F G C


C
I think maybe it was Radiohead
              F                    
That had this weird little beat and
   G
 a keyboard instead
   C
Of guitar playing chords, I remember
 how bored
            F
You would get with those bands
           G                       
You always said they play the same 
      C
three chords


          Am                  
And you'd dance around in your 
 G
t-shirt and sing
          F                    
Don't you love Modest Mouse and 
 G
adore Promise Ring?
          Am                       
Don't you wish that you could just 
G
avoid everything?
       F                     G    
Join a band, go on tour, and think
                C
 of me when you sing?


                    Am          
And I'd think la la la yeah that 
 G              C
sounds okay to me
          Am                      
And you'd fall on the bed and I'd 
G               C
fall down to my knees
        Am                 G
And I'd smile like my life depended 
on it
          Am                 G
That's so weird I was mostly right 
about that
       F                 G        
Always eager to love and eager to 
C
leave


La la la la...
Am G C
F G C
F G C Am F G C


                    Am          
And I'd think la la la all these 
 G            C
songs are so untrue
     Am            G              
As I stare at this fading side of 
C
you
       Am                    G
And we don't belong and it's all so 
wrong
           Am                  G
And you're beautiful with that gray 
scarf on
        F             G        
I think yeah okay but maybe it's 
           C
just the song
      F               G           
And I miss you but it might just 
      C
be the song
