[Intro]
A A/B A/D
A A/B A/D
[Verse 1]
From the Acorner of 3rd and A/BWashington
You A/Dcan't see where your brother went
Out A/Bsomewhere past the beat cops
And beautiful A/Dwomen who work for the government
They walk F#mby in air-condA/Eitioned tunnels
That arc A/Ebhigh above the street
        A/D*
While I sweat in my hot coffee
And Edaydream about how we might meet
A A/B A/D
A A/B A/D
[Verse 2]
Your Amother asked for a A/Bpicture
She A/Dsays "today's your birthday"
In some A/Bstrung out western stutter
Making A/Dall the world her ashtray
She adF#mjusts her aviA/Eators
With an A/Ebabsent shaking hand
          A/D*
Tilts the camera forty-five degrees
And   Ecalls out modeling commands
A A/B A/D
A A/B A/D
[Verse 3]
When we Aused to go to pA/Barties
You'd spend an A/Dhour before the mirror
And I'd A/Bdrink your gin
And ask about your A/Dhigh school souvenirs
Tacked F#mon the wall aboA/Eve the bed
An A/Ebold Inkjet collage
             A/D*
But you were never much for talking
    ESo I knelt to your mirage
A A/B A/D
A A/B A/D
[Verse 4]
We'd Awalk the three blocks A/Bwestbound
In the A/Dmoonlit Philly fall
And the A/Bparty would be grand
All our A/Dfriends would grin with pride
All our F#mfriends would be so A/Edrunk
And have such A/Ebpleasant things to say
       A/D*
And at last, we'd see each other in the way that we had dreamed to be seen

Those Anights your house kept A/Bsecret
We'd A/Dstumble up the stairs
My A/Bhands tore through your records
While your A/Dhands unpinned your hair
The F#mboth of us still A/Egreen enough
To reA/Ebmove the other's clothes
        A/D*
A quiet signal of devotion
That I am happy to Ahave known

An old Inkjet collage
