G                       C        
I'm standing on this corner.
       G

C                     G          
Can't get their attention.
      D

G              D           
Facing rush hour faces turned 
           E         D            
around.
            C


G                       C        
I clutch my stack of paper
       G

C                     G          
press one to a chest then
      D

G                          D     
watch it swoop and stutter to the
            E          D          
 ground.
              C


G                       C        
I'm weary with right-angles
       G

C                G             D
abbreviated daylight
G                           D    
and waiting for a winter to be 
     E           D              C
done.

G               C               G
Why do I still see you
C                           G    
in every mirrored window
            D

G                        D       
in all that I could never 
        E               D         
overcome?
              C


        C                          
How I don't know what I should do
 G

       C                           
with my hands when I talk to you.
     G

      C                            
How you don't know where you should
       G
 look
     D             C     G
so you look at my hands.
       C                           
How movements rise and then 
              G
dissolve
 C                       G
melted by our shallow breath.
        C                        G
How causes dance away from me.
   D          Am         C        
I am your pamphleteer.
 D          G


G                       C        
I walk this room in time to
          G

C                                
the beat of the Gestetner
G             D

G                           D    
contemplate my next communique.
         E                D        C


G                       C        
The rhetoric and treason
       G

C                                
of saying that I'll miss you
G             D

G                            
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you 
       D               E          
should stay."
    D                 C


          C                     G 
Sing "Oh what force on earth could
                      C
 be weaker than the
  G                          C
feeble strength of one"
                 G                 
like me remembering the way it 
   D                       Am  G
could have been.
 C                        G
Help me with this barricade
C                    G
No surrender. No defeat.
C                                G
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
   D          Am         C        
I am your pamphleteer.
 D          G
