Brief Encounter
E B A B
Let me set the scene, she was famous and her laugh was so contagious, but anyway?
E B A B
She was going on ?bout how we?re drifting ?round the sun and always chasing bigger stars,
E
And how it?s all a farce.
B A E
But I guess we?ll make it out alive and take it on the nose.
E B A B
Like in Brief Encounter, they were happy, but both already married, yet they still went out.
E A B A
The second time we saw she tried to end it with a fall, but couldn?t do it, not on the track?
E
So thanks for coming back.
B A E
I guess we made out alive now take it on the nose.

Hold my Tongue
C F G C
We spoke of never speaking, but half-way down the road the buzzing and the beeping overflowed.
C F
When never turned to someday, and certainty to hope,
G C
Somehow there was the feeling we could cope.
F C
All the days we felt so light, were now so out of sight,
F C
And I do not know what will happen down the line.
F C C/B A7
But the time may never come, for us to get along.
G F C
Until then I?ll have to hold my tongue.
C F G C
Imperfections, courtesy of time. There?s lines in all directions, and circles ?round my eyes.
C F G C
So before I let you in, there is a need to fix, whatever is within my bagga tricks.
F C
Oh in days of Auld Lang Syne, it was a different time,
F C
And there?s no way to know what will happen down the line.
F C C/B A7
But the day me never come, for us to get along,
G F C
Until then I guess I'll hold my tongue.
G F C
Yes until then I?ll have to hold my tongue.

Records on the Shelf
C Em F C Em F C
