Dead Leaves Cifras

[Verse 1]
            C                         F
There's a phone disconnected on the counter by the sink
       C                              F
And a note that you wrote down on a legal pad in blue ink
 Am                     G             F
Last year I tried the number but the line's dead
 Am                  G                  F
And I touch it for good luck when I'm leaving
 
[Verse 2]
           C                                  F
I take a train to the city, it feels like my life's playing back in reverse
        C                                F
And somewhere in the static, I hear it mumble a satanic curse
     Am              G               F
My guitar and some clothes for the weekend
   Am               G                F
I wave when we're passing through Brooklyn
 
G
 
[Chorus]
                     F
The earth starts to open wide
                 C                       G
It swallows us whole when we get to the river
    F
I close my eyes
                  C                G
My ears start to pop as we go underwater
   Dm                     F
I grip the train seat, breathing steady
 C         G         F
I'm gonna make 'em believe
 
[Verse 3]
           C                                     F
I ride the B down the 4th Street, climbed into Autumn up MTA stairs
           C                              F
And cut close past the fountain here at Father Demo Square
     Am           G                   F
The dead leaves scrape the concrete behind me
                  Am              G              F
You think that by now I'd have learned to stop turning
 
G
 
[Chorus]
          F
But it's you this time
                 C                           G
You're walking alone and you're pushing a stroller
       F                             C                        G
The November light hangs low in the sky and reflects off the water
Dm
The gold glare hides me
              F
I could be anybody
        C       G         F
And I stand paralyzed on the street
 
[Refrain]
   C                       F
'Cause it's you this time
 C                      F
Oh, it's you this time
 Am                     F
But it's you this time
 C                      F
Oh, it's you this time
 
[Verse 4]
    C                                  F
Up the block when I come to I see our name on the marquee
      C                                F
And smile cause I love you and I know you found what you need
      Am          G          F
The future's a rhetorical question
      Am       G          F
So I open the door and I walk in
