Key:
Em B F# B Oh-oh oh [VERSE 1]
B E Lisa heard a whisper in her computer screen
F# and the sad laser flicker of the
B Xerox machine
B E Out the tinted windows, cars sped silently
F# and everything was quiet,
B everything was clean [CHORUS]
F# But she felt something waiting, a
B shadow underneath
Em B F# B Oh-oh oh, a shadow underneath [VERSE 2]
Continues after the ad
B E Another cup of coffee, snacks from the machine
F# She stared down the hallway at the
B plastic trees
B Waving under air ducts in the
E automated breeze
F# A whisper, a flicker trembling in
B the leaves [CHORUS]
F# And she wanted to see it, but she
B didn't want to see
Em B F# B Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see [VERSE 3]
B E Down the elevator, falling silently
F# in the parking lot, silver puddles
B gleam
B E A canyon of buildings, lazy pipes of steam
F# And all of it whispered, all of it
B breathed [CHORUS]
F# B And all the little shadows danced around her feet
Em B F# Oh-oh oh, they danced around her
B feet
F# And she wanted to see them, but she
B didn't want to see
Em B F# B Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see
Em B F# B Oh-oh oh
