[G] _ _ _ _ on Folk Roots this morning.
_ _ Tamara [F] Lindeman. _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [Am] _ _ _
_ _ [C] _ _ _ [G] There was a time you put your hand on the small of [Am] my back.
I [G] was surprised that you touched me like that.
But there in your hand [Dm] was a current of life
I could hardly _ [G] stand.
I stayed still [Gm] and I didn't [F] imagine it.
For did [G] I have made some joke of you?
Strange, _ I could feel [F] so sane, _ [G] so plain when you're around. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ [C] _ [G] _ _ And unbidden to me, there it rose, [Am] the fantasy.
_ _ [G] Colored, rose, and easy.
_ _ [Gm] And then you see it so simple, [Dm] unsubtle, impossible, clearly.
[G] _
And strange, far and as close [A] as a mountain range.
[G] On the horizon, driving all day.
There I was so [F] sane, so [G] plain after everything. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ _ _ And gas came down from [A] above [F] 20.
The joke was [C] how it broke the economy [G] anyhow. _
The [Am] dollar was down, but [F] my friends opened [C] businesses.
There were no [Gm] children. _ _
_ I didn't get married.
[Dm] _ _ _
[G] I wasn't close to my [D] family.
And [G] my dad was raising a child [Dm] in Nairobi.
She [Am] was [G] three.
Now he told me gas stations.
I [F] laughed, and I [C] noticed [G] really _ _ [Gm] everything.
The wind, the light, the reflections.
_ Different kinds of highway [Dm] protections.
We'd fall [Gm] down laughing, _ [Dm] _ effervescent.
_ [F] And all over nothing, [G] all over [C] nothing.
Just as though it [Am] was a joke my [F] whole life through.
[C] All of the pain in the store I knew.
All of the tears that had fallen from my eyes.
I can't say why when I walked in the park.
Like some dark shade, I avoided [F] your eyes.
[C] I was ashamed of my own mind.
No [Am] restless eyes [F] were these dark [C] as your _ name.
_ [G] _ _
_ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ All you got, the kindest of eyes [F] I cannot help.
[C] But notice sometimes [G] what you know as do I.
I cannot look twice [F] without falling [Am] right
into the [G] sweet and the tender line between.
_ Something that can [Dm] and can never be.
[C] Just now an ambulance [G] passed on the street.
And you took my arm [F] reflexively. _
_ [C] _ [G] _ _ _ _ _ _
That was the year I [F] was 30. _
_ [G] That was the year you were 31. _
_ That was the year we [F] _ lost [C] and we won.
[G] _ _ _ _ _ _
_ That was the year I was [Dm] 30. _ _
_ That was the year [G] you were 31. _
That was that year now, here [C] now, here is another _ world.
[G] _ _ _

Tamara Lindeman, Weather Station.
What was the name of that song?
[B] Well, _ bravely the banker _ tried to hold him down.
But the gunman brushed past and pushed him to the ground.
Matt Moogalian saw and Matt Moogalian stood.
The pistol was
