Sun In An Empty Room

Intro:

A E B F#m (x2) (this pattern repeats
 throughout the song)


A             E            B    
Now that the furniture’s 
            F#m
returning to its goodwill home
A             E                B
Dishes and last week’s paper, 
                     F#m
rumors and elections, crosswords, 
and an ending war
A             E                B
the black our fingers smeared 
                     F#m
their prints on every door pulled 
shut
A             E                B
now that the last month’s rent 
                           F#m
is scheming with the damage deposit
                    A              
take this moment to decide (sun in 
         E
an empty room)
                      B            
if we meant it, if we tried (sun in
          F#m
 an empty room)

                           A       
or felt around for far too much 
              E
(sun in an empty room)
                             B     
for things that accidentally 
                   F#m
touched (sun in an empty room)

(chord pattern repeats to end)

the hands that we nearly hold with 
pennies for the gst
the shoulders we lean our shoulders 
into on the subway, mutter an 
apology
the shins that we kick beneath the 
table, that reflexive cry
the faces we meet one awkward beat 
too long and terrified

know the things we need to say (sun 
in an empty room)
and said already anyways (sun in an 
empty room)
on parallelograms of light (sun in 
an empty room)
on walls that we repainted white 
(sun in an empty room)

sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room

take eight minutes and divide (sun 
in an empty room)
by ninety million lonely miles (sun 
in an empty room)
watch the shadow cross the floor 
(sun in an empty room)
we don’t live here anymore (sun in 
an empty room)
