The Dangling Conversation Chords

Title: THE DANGLING CONVERSATION (Simon & Garfunkel)
 
                C                 B     D
                It's a still life water color
                C             B    D
                Of a now late afternoon
                       C          B           Am
                As the sun shines through the curtain lace
                    G                     E  F#
                And shadows wash the room
                Em
                And we sit and drink our coffee
                F                              E
                Cast in our indifference, like shells upon the shore
                        D
                You can hear the ocean roar
                       C        B     D               G    D      C
                In the dangling conversation, and the superficial sighs
                                    G   Em  F#
                The borders of our lives
 
                C                 B     D
                And you read your Emily Dickenson
                C        B      D
                And I my Robert Frost
                       C        B          Am
                And we note our place with bookmarkers
                     G                       E  F#
                That measure what we've lost
                Em
                Like a poem porely written
                       F                     E
                We are verses out of rhythm, Couplets out of rhyme
                   D
                In syncopated time
                        C        B     D               G    D      C
                And the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
                                       G     Em  F#
                Are the borders of our lives
 
                C               B           D
                Yes we speak of things that matter
                     C          B       D
                With words that must be said
                   C     B      Am
                Can analysis be worthwhile
                       G
                Is the theatre really dead
                Em
                And how the room is softly faded
                      F                        E
                And I only kiss your shadow, I cannot feel your hand
                         D
                You're a stranger now unto me
                            C        B     D               G    D      C
                Lost in the dangling conversation, And the superficial sighs
                                      G     Em   F#
                In the borders of our lives
