The Dangling Conversation chords

[INTRO]
[Eb] [Bb] [F] [Bb] [F/C] [Eb/Bb]
[Eb] [Bb] [Bb6] [Bb7] [Bb6]

[VERSE 1]
[Bb6]It's a [Eb]still life [Bb]water [F]color
Of a [Eb]now late [Bb]after[F]noon
As the [Eb]sun shines [Bb]through the [F]curtained lace
And [Bb]shadows wash the [Bb6]room [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
And we [Gm]sit and drink our coffee
[Ab]Couched in our indifference
Like [G]shells upon the shore
You can [F]hear the ocean roar
In the [Eb]dangling [Bb]conver[F]sation
And the [Bb]super[F]ficial [Eb]sighs
The borders of our [Bb]lives [Bb6] [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]

[VERSE 2]
[Bb6]And you [Eb]read your Emily [F]Dickinson
And [Eb]I my [Bb]Robert [F]Frost
And we [Eb]note our [Bb]place with [F]bookmarkers
That [Bb]measure what we've [Bb6]lost [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
Like a [Gm]poem poorly written
We are [Ab]verses out of rhythm
[G]Couplets out of rhyme
In [F]syncopated time
And the [Eb]dangling [Bb]conver[F]sation
And the [Bb]super[F]ficial [Eb]sighs
Are the borders of our [Bb]lives [Bb6] [Bbmaj7] [Bb6]

[VERSE 3]
[Bb6]Yes, we [Eb]speak of [Bb]things that [F]matter
With [Eb]words that [Bb]must be [F]said
"Can an[Eb]aly[Bb]sis be [F]worthwhile?"
"Is the [Bb]theater really [Bb6]dead?"[Bbmaj7] [Bb6]
And how the [Gm]room is softly faded
And I [Am]only kiss your shadow
I [G]cannot feel your hand
You're a [F]stranger now unto me
Lost in the [Eb]dangling [Bb]conver[F]sation
And the [Bb]superficial [Eb]sighs
In the borders of our [Bb]lives [Bb6] [Bbmaj7] [Bb]
