Capo on 2nd fret
	        
Em    B   F# B 
Oh-oh oh 

B                        E 
Lisa heard a whisper in her computer screen 
         F#                                B 
and the sad laser flicker of the Xerox machine 
 B                       E 
Out the tinted windows, cars sped silently 
     F#                                    B 
and everything was quiet, everything was clean 

         F#                         B 
But she felt something waiting, a shadow underneath 
Em    B       F#          B 
Oh-oh oh, a shadow underneath 

  B                      E 
Another cup of coffee, snacks from the machine 
      F#                                     B 
She stared down the hallway at the plastic trees 
 B                             E 
Waving under air ducts in the automated breeze 
    F#                                  B 
A whisper, a flicker trembling in the leaves 

         F#                        B 
And she wanted to see it, but she didn't want to see 
Em    B        F#             B 
Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see 

 B                  E 
Down the elevator, falling silently 
F#                                  B 
in the parking lot, silver puddles gleam 
   B                    E 
A canyon of buildings, lazy pipes of steam 
    F#                               B 
And all of it whispered, all of it gleamed 

     F#                     B 
And all the little shadows danced around her feet 
Em    B          F#               B 
Oh-oh oh, they danced around her feet 

         F#                          B 
And she wanted to see them, but she didn't want to see 
Em    B        F#             B 
Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see 

Em    B   F# B 
Oh-oh oh
