Rush Hour Chords by Ani Difranco

_ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [D] Rush hour _ [A] and the day is dawning _ _ And _ the rain came _ and [Bm] pushed me under [D] the
awning _ [A]
And the puddles grew and threw themselves at
me With every passing car I'm shilling my guitar
And there were some things that I did not tell him
There were certain things he did not need to know
And there were some days that I did not love him
And he didn't understand me and I don't know why I didn't [G] go
I expected Summer to be there in the morning [F#m] I woke to the alarm and she was out of arm's
[G] reach Sneaking out on silent [A] thighs that were spent
and sore From [D] the hot nights which came before
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Bm]
And he said, [A] change the channel I got problems of my own
I'm so sick of hearing about drugs and AIDS and people without homes
And I said, well, I'd like to sympathize with that
But if you don't understand then how can you act?
And there were some things that I did not tell him
There were certain things he did not need to know
And there were some days that I did not love him
And he didn't understand me and I don't [D] know why I didn't go
[G] I expected Summer to be there in the morning [F#m] I woke to the alarm and she was out of arm's
reach [G]
Sneaking out on silent thighs [A] that were spent
and sore [D] From the hot nights which came before
[Bm] _
_ _ _ [E] _ _ [A] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
And he said, I looked for you and [E] I don't [A] know why
I said, I was wearing black so you could see me against the sky
Take your big leather boots and your buckles and your chains
Put them on a downtown _ train I [G]
expected he would be there in the [F#m] morning
I woke to the alarm and he [Bm] was still in arm's [G] reach
But his body was just a [A] disguise His mind had wandered [A] off long ago
I could tell by [B] his eyes _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Bm] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Love isn't over when the sheets are stained In my head there remains so much left to be said
[Bm] Well, make me laugh, make [E] me cry [A] and writhe in me
But [D] just don't [E] try to [D] disengage me [G] I expected Summer would be there in the [D] morning
I woke to the alarm and she was out of arm's [G] reach
Sneaking out on silent thighs [A] that were spent and sore
From the hot nights which came [Bm] before _

_ _ _ _ _ _ _
Rush hour _ [D] _ at [B] the _ [D] day's dawning _ _ [A] And [Bm]
the [D] rain came [Bm] and _ pushed me under the awning _ _ _
And the puddles grew [E] and threw [A] themselves at me
With an ever-passing car and shielding my guitar
And there were some things that I did not tell him
There were certain things he did not need to know
And there were some days that I did not love him
And he didn't understand me I don't know why I didn't go
He didn't understand me And I don't know why I didn't go
He didn't [E] understand me And he had [D] every chance [G] to know
