**CAPO 2**
G
He cut your strings so that he could float
D
- lit by lights, lifted by alcohol
Am
- over acres of loving coast,
C D
far away from your lonely ghost.
G
Now he’s cool and all,
D
floating anchorless. Ports of call:
Am
where it’s fabulous, after all
C D
of this watching himself just crawl.
Em A C G
Think you see him?
D
He’s not there,
Am
that’s just light
C
that’s not yet dead.
Em A C G
Wait two hours
D Am
and watch what’ll be there instead.
G
Was he small and cold,
D
like a ring you call up from home,
Am
held so tightly his limbs went numb,
C D
worn away between your finger and thumb?
G
Well, now he’s bought and sold.
D
Cry his call number down the phone,
Am
he can’t hear you – he’s on his float,
C D
waving down to the folks at home.
Em A C G
Think you see him?
D
He’s not there,
Am
that’s just light
C
that’s not yet dead.
Em A C G
Wait two hours
D Am
and watch what’ll be there instead.
Em D C Am
As the cameras love all of his faces,
G Em D C
they hide all the traces of you in his heart.
Em G C Am
Stand in line to hold forth on his grace,
Em Am
but you won’t even get a head-start,
C D
Get a head start
G D Am C D
G D Am C D
G
As his close-up comes
D
cascading down from above,
Am
the eyes of a nation in love
C
are looking on all of their hopes
D
held up.
G
And the words that some
D
screenwriter counted and chose,
Am
and then set in their sequence and froze,
C
unfreeze on his tongue as he speaks
D
for all of us
G
but one.
D
And honey, he’s gone.
Am
And baby, he’s everyone’s.
C D
In the dark sky tonight,
G
cast your eyes
D
on the dim light
Am
that he will become.
C D
You’re like everyone
Em A C G
Who thinks they see him
D
He’s not there,
Am
that’s just light
C
that’s not yet dead.
Em A C G
Wait two hours
D Am
and watch what’ll be there instead.
