Chords for Shoshana Bean Dressing Room Sessions Finishing the Hat by Stephen Sondheim

[F] _ _ _ Yes, he looks for me, [D] _
_ _ _ good.
[F] _ _ _
Let him look for [D] me to tell me [G] why he left me.
_ [Dm] As I always knew he would, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ I [Gm] had [Am] thought he'd understood.
_ [F] _ _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _ _
_ _ They _ [Eb] have [F] never understood and no reason that they should. _
_ _ But _ [Ab] _ [Eb] if [F] anybody could.
[Bb] _ _ _ _ _
_ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
Finishing the [F] hat, _ _ [Bb] _ _
how you have to finish the hat. _ _ _
How you watch the rest of the world from a window.
_ While you [F] finish the hat, [Bb] _
_ _ mapping out a sky. _
_ _ What you feel like planning a sky.
_ [F] What [Dm] you feel [A] when voices that come [F] through the window _ _ go.
[Ab] _ [Bb] Until they distance and die. _
_ _ Until there's nothing but sky.
_ And [A] how you're always turning back [Eb] too late.
[Bb] From the grass or the stick or the [F] dog or the light.
[Eb] Or the kind of man who is [A] willing to wait.
It's not [Bb] the kind that you want to find.
Waiting [F] to return [D] you to the night.
[Gm] _
_ _ _ Dizzy [Eb] from the [A] height, _ _ _ _ coming [Bb] from the hat.
_ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] Studying the hat, _ _ _ _ [C] entering [Bb] the [F] world of the hat.
[Bb] _ _ _ Reaching through the world [F] of the hat.
Like a [Bb] window [Eb]
back to [F] this one from [Bb] that.
_ [F] _ _
[Bb] Studying [F] a face _ [Bb] _ _
and [Am] stepping back to look at the [Gm] face. _ _
_ Leaves a little [Eb] space in the way. _
[N] _ Like [Cm] a window. _ _
_ _ [Gb] But to [D] see. _
[C] _ _ [Fm] It's the only [E] way [D] to see.
[F] _ [Eb] _ _ And in the [A]
man that you wanted goes.
You [Bb] can say to yourself, well, I give what [F] I give.
[Eb] But the man _ _ before you knows that [Bb] however you live.
There's a part of you [G] always standing [D] _ [C] by.
[G] _ _ [Cm] _
Mapping out the [A] sky. _ _ _
[Gm] _ [Am] _ _ _ [F] _ _ _ _
[Cm] _ _ [F] _ _ _ Finishing [Bb] the hat, [F] _ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _
starting on a hat. _ _ _ _ _
Finishing [F] a hat.
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _
_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ [Bb] Look, I made a hat. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ Where there never _ [F] was a hat.
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ _ [Bb] _ _ _
_ _ _ [F] _ [C] _ _ [F] _ _
[Bb] _ _ [F] _ _ [D] _ [Bb] _ _ _
