Sequel 
Harry Chapin      (klr) 
 
So G here she's actin' Em happy, D inside her handsome Bm home 
And G me, I'm flyin' in my D taxi, taking C tips Bb and 
gettin' D stoned 
 
I got into town a little early  D   Am 
Had eight hours to kill before the show 
First I though about heading up north of the bay 
Then I C knew where I Bb had to go  D 
I thought about taking a limousine   D  Am 
Or at least a fancy car 
But I ended up taking a 'Taxi' 
'Cause C that's how I Bb this D far 
 
You see G ten years ago it was the Em front seat 
Drivin' D stoned and feelin' no Bm pain 
Now G here I am straight and D sittin' in the back 
Hitting C Sixteen Bb Parkside D Lane    C  Bb  D   D 
C  E 
 
The driveway was the same as I remembered   E  Bm 
And a butler came and answered the door 
He just shook his head when I asked for her 
And said 'She D doesn't live C here E anymore    D  C  E 
But he offered to give me the address  E  Bm 
That they were forwarding her letters to 
I just took it and returned to the cabbie 
And said 'I got D one more C fare for E you.'   D  C  E 
 
E And so we rolled back into the G city 
Up to a A five story old brown C stone 
I rang the D bell that had her name on the E mailbox 
The D buzzer said somebody's E home  D  C  E   C  D 
E 
 
E And the look on her face as she G opened the door 
Was like an A old joke told by a C friend 
It'd taken D ten more years but she'd E found her smile 
And I D watched the corners start to E bend 
 
And she A said, ?How are you B7 Harry? 
Haven't we E played this scene before?? 
I A said, 'It's so good to E see you , Sue. 
Had to D play it out C just once E more 
{D}Play it out  just once E more.' 
 
She said ?I've heard you flying high on my radio.?     E  Bm 
I answered 'It's not all it seem.' 
That's when she laughed and she said, 
'It's better sometimes, when we don't D get to touch our E dreams.' 
   D  -  E x2 
 
That's when I A asked her where was that F#m actress 
She E said 'That was somebody C#m else.' 
And then I A asked her why she looked so E happy now 
She said, 'I D finally like myself, at last I like E myself.' 
 
E  Abm  E7  E7/Db  F#m  D7  C  E 
 
E          So we talked all through that afternoon 
Abm     Talking about where we'd been 
E7        We talked of the tiny difference 
E7/Db  Between ending and starting to begin 
F#m     We talked ?cause talking tells you things 
D7        Like what you are really thinking about 
C          But sometimes you can't find what you're feeling 
E          ?Til all the words run out 
 
So I asked her to come to the concert   E  Bm 
She said ?No, I work at night.' 
I said, ?We've gotten to damn good at leaving, Sue.' 
She said, ?{D} Harry, C your E right.'  D  E  D  E 
 
Don't A ask me if I made F#m love to her 
Or which E one of us started to cry. 
Don't A ask me why she wouldn't take the E money that I left. 
If I D answered at all I'd E lie.  D  C  E  C  Bb  D 
 
So I thought about her as I sang that night  Am  D 
And how the circle keeps rolling around 
How I act as I'm facing the footlights 
And how she's C flying with both Bb feet on the D ground 
 
I guess G it's a sequel to our Em story 
>From the D journey ?tween heaven and Bm hell 
With G half the time thinking of what D might have been been 
And C half thinkin' Bb just as D well 
I guess G only A7 time will D tell
