D# A# F It's a still life water color D# A# F Of a now late afternoon D# A# Cm As the sun shines through the curtain lace A# Gm And shadows wash the room A# Gm And we sit and drink our coffee G# G Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore F You can hear the ocean roar D# A# F In the dangling conversation, A# F D# and the superficial sighs A# Gm The borders of our lives And you read your Emily Dickinson And I my Robert Frost And we note our place with bookmarkers That measure what we've lost Like a poem poorly written We are verses out of rhythm Couplets out of rhyme In syncopated time And the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs Are the borders of our lives Yes, we speak of things that matter With words that must be said "Can analysis be worthwhile?" "Is the theater really dead?" And how the room is softly faded And I only kiss your shadow I cannot feel your hand You're a stranger now unto me Lost in the dangling conversation And the superficial sighs In the borders of our lives You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  F  G  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
