Текст песни La Dispute — Woman Reading + аккорды для гитары
Вступление
[Verse 1]
Am
You in the living room
Em
You on a Tuesday afternoon
G
A breeze seen when the curtains move
[Hook]
Am
You by the window with both feet up on the couch
G Em
Where you sit and you read and I watch you
[Verse 2]
F
From the office the sunlight frames your silhouette
Am G
I think of lighting fireworks, I think of pirouettes
F
I idly write down observations on the scene
Am G
Like do the blueprints name the rooms alone?
Do we name them on our own?
Am
We hardly live in there
[Hook]
G
You with a book propped on your knees
Em
A breeze seen in your coffee steam
[Verse 3]
Am G
I’m in the office thinking back to rules of poetry
Em
It’s fourteen lines, the last two rhyme, what does pentameter mean?
[Hook]
Am
You in the living room
G
Legs bent at forty-five degrees
[Verse 4]
Em
I write AB AB, try to find your rhyme scheme
Am G
I look for objects on the desk with which to sculpt your image best
Em
What would I name this? Could I paint it “Woman (reading)?” “Girl (at rest)?”
[Verse 5]
Fmaj7 Am G Fmaj7
I remember it so well watching you shifting your weight, turning the page, I can see it all there
Am G
Inside a living room where only I live and never go in
Fmaj7 F
A role in name alone
[Verse 5]
Am Fmaj7 F
And I pause where I am for a second when I hear your name
Am Fmaj7
Sometimes I think I see your face in improbable places
F Am
Do those moments replay for you?
Fmaj7
When I’m suddenly there and then won’t go away
Am
When you’re sitting in the living room reading for the afternoon
Do you put your book down look and try to find me there?
[Verse 6]
Em Am
Sometimes I think of all the people who lived here before us
A E G
How the spaces in the memories you make change the room from just blueprints
Am F
To the place where you live
[Bridge]
E
When you leave here
Am
When you go from a home
G Am
You take all that you own but the memories echo
[Verse 7]
A G
On hardwood floor in the living room
Am
Tore the carpet, the scratches below that we found
And the wine stain on the couch
G
We got drunk and decided we’d still try to move it around
Fmaj7 F Am G C
And I can’t tell what the difference is between the ones that we made and the ones that we didn’t make
E
They all conjure images still
G Fmaj7 F
Where you sit and you read in the sunlight aware that I watch
[Outro]
And I live alone now
A Am
Save for the echoes
Gm C
I live alone now
Em Am A Am
Save for the echoes
