Room Off The Street Chords & Lyrics - Suzanne Vega

[INTRO]
[F#] [D#m] [F#]

[VERSE]
[F#]Somewhere in a r[G#m]oom
With a p[F#]oster on a [G#m]wall
Of a m[F#]an with his [G#m]hand
In[F#] a fist

Is a wo[D#m]man who's dri[F#]nking
And her d[D#m]ress is so ti[F#]ght
You [D#m]can see every b[G#m]reath
That she t[F#]akes

[CHORUS]
Every [G#m]sigh, every sway
You can h[B]ear everything that they[C#] say
S[G#m]omething's begun like a war
Or a family or a f[C#]riendship
Or a [A#]fast love aff[D#m]air

[VERSE]
[F#]The man on the wa[G#m]ll
Is [F#]his symbol of f[G#m]reedom
It me[F#]ans he has [G#m]brothers
[F#]Who believe as he does

[D#m]She is moved [F#]by
The th[D#m]ing that she [F#]sees in his f[D#m]ace
When h[G#m]e talks of
[F#]The cause

[CHORUS]
Every [G#m]sigh, every sway
You can h[B]ear everything that they[C#] say
S[G#m]omething's begun like a war
Or a family or a f[C#]riendship
Or a [A#]fast love aff[D#m]air

Every [G#m]sigh, every sway
You can h[B]ear everything that they[C#] say
S[G#m]omething's begun like a war
Or a family or a f[C#]riendship
Or a [A#]fast love aff[D#m]air

[VERSE]
[F#]She leans against [G#m]him
Her [F#]dress is so[G#m] red
They t[F#]alk of the [G#m]salt
And t[F#]he truth and the bread

The n[D#m]ight goes a[F#]long
The[D#m] fan goes ar[F#]ound
In the r[D#m]oom off the s[G#m]treet
At the e[F#]nd of the town

[CHORUS]
Every [G#m]sigh, every sway
You can h[B]ear everything that they[C#] say
S[G#m]omething's begun like a war
Or a family or a f[C#]riendship
Or a [A#]fast love aff[D#m]air
