Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
She was shaking and talking louder and louder
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb
each sentence was sifted to a very fine powder
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
and her face was wet and tight, her grip was cold and light

& she said "word up, sister, a strong wind
N.C.
could take me away"
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb x 2
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
I said, "How long have you been at large?
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb
they told me you were stashed last time I asked"
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
and she said, "I've been out now for all of three hours
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Gm(III)
I just resurfaced and here you are
Fm
I must admit that it has been hard so far"
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb x 2
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
I said, "skeletons are fine, your closet or mine"
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb
we took turns recounting the details of lost time
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
and when we had both admitted it all
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Gm(III)
we threw our heads back and we laughed until we cried
Fm
we laughed coz the world is absurd and beautiful and small
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb x 2
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
and there we were washed up on the curb
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Bb
as the rush hour traffic went out with the tide
Eb(VI) Gm(III) Ab Bb
and I was aware that with every word
Eb(XI) Gm(X) Ab Gm(III)
spoken and shared, I could see her shaking subside
Fm
I said, "sister, looks to me like you're going to be fine"
