[Verse 1]
       C     G/B        D
It's a still life water color
     C   G/B        D
Of a now late after noon
       C   G/B                Am
As the sun shines through the curtained lace
    G                G6    Gmaj7   G6
And shadows wash the room
       Em                Cmaj7   Em
And we sit and drink our coffee
Fmaj7
Couched in our indifference
     E
Like shells upon the shore
        D
You can hear the ocean roar
       C        G/B    D
In the dangling conver sation
        G/B   D/A    C/G
And the super ficial sighs
    C              G      G6     Gmaj7   G6
The borders of our lives
 
 
[Verse 2]
        C         G/B   D
And you read your Emily Dickinson
    C    G/B    D
And I my Robert Frost
       C        G/B        Am
And we note our place with bookmarkers
     G                  G6    Gmaj7    G6
That measure what we've lost
       Em
Like a poem poorly written
       Fmaj7
We are verses out of rhythm
E
Couplets out of rhyme
   D
In syncopated time
        C        G/B    D
And the dangling conver sation
        G/B   D/A    C/G
And the super ficial sighs
        C              G      G6   Gmaj7   G6
Are the borders of our lives
 
 
[Verse 3]
        C        G/B         D
Yes, we speak of things that matter
     C          G/B     D
With words that must be said
     C     G/B    Am
"Can analy sis be worthwhile?"
        G              G6      Gmaj7    G6
"Is the theater really dead?"
            Em             Cmaj7  Em
And how the room is softly faded
      Fmaj7
And I only kiss your shadow
  E
I cannot feel your hand
         D
You're a stranger now unto me
 
            C        G/B    D
Lost in the dangling conver sation
        G/B   D/A    C/G
And the super ficial sighs
        C              G      G6   Gmaj7   G6     G
Are the borders of our lives                     (thud)
