         Eb(VI)     Gm(III)   Ab        Bb
She was shaking and talking louder and louder

    Eb(XI)        Gm(X)       Ab         Bb
each sentence was sifted to a very fine powder

       Eb(VI)    Gm(III)       Ab             Bb
and her face was wet and tight, her grip was cold and light


   Eb(XI)    Gm(X)           Ab                       Gm(III)

                     & she  said  "word up, sister,  a strong wind

N.C.
could take me away"


Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab  Bb        Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab  Bb   x 2


Eb(VI)       Gm(III)      Ab       Bb
I said, "How long have you been at large?

     Eb(XI)           Gm(X)    Ab          Bb
they told me you were stashed last time I asked"

              Eb(VI)     Gm(III)    Ab            Bb
and she said, "I've been out now for all of three hours

Eb(XI)    Gm(X)        Ab              Gm(III)
I just resurfaced and       here you are

Fm
I must admit that it has been hard so far"

Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab  Bb        Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab  Bb   x 2

  Eb(VI)             Gm(III)    Ab             Bb
I said, "skeletons are fine,     your closet or mine"

Eb(XI)   Gm(X)                 Ab           Bb
we took turns recounting the details of lost time

 Eb(VI)         Gm(III)     Ab       Bb
and when we had both     admitted it all

Eb(XI)       Gm(X)              Ab              Gm(III)
we threw our heads back and we laughed until we cried

Fm
we laughed coz the world is absurd and beautiful and small

Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab  Bb        Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab  Bb   x 2

    Eb(VI)    Gm(III)    Ab        Bb
and there we were washed up on the curb

        Eb(XI) Gm(X)             Ab            Bb
as the  rush   hour traffic went out with the tide

      Eb(VI) Gm(III)      Ab           Bb
and I was  aware   that    with every word

 Eb(XI)     Gm(X)                  Ab          Gm(III)
spoken and shared, I could see her   shaking subside


Fm
I said, "sister, looks to me    like you're going to be fine"


Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab  Bb        Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab  Bb   x 2
