[Verse]
    Em       D/F#    G
I'm standing on this corner.
Am        G      D/F#
Can't get their attention.
G       D/F#     Em    D5      Cmaj7
Facing rush hour faces turned around.
   Em       D/F#      G      Am      G     D/F#
I clutch my stack of paper, press one to a chest,
     G        D/F#      Em     D5     Cmaj7
then watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.
    Em       D/F#    G         Am     G   D/F#
I'm weary with right-angles, abbreviated daylight,
    G         D/F# Em    D5   Cmaj7
and waiting for a winter to be done.
   Em       D/F#      G      Am      G     D/F#
Why do I still see you in every mirrored window,
    G         D/F# Em       Cmaj7
in all that I could never overcome?
 
[Chorus]
    C                          G/B  Am7                G/B
How I don't know what I should do with my hands when I talk to you.
     C                              G/B   D/F#                  G
How you don't know where you should look, so you look at my hands.
     C                       G/B       Am7                   G
How movements rise and then dissolve, melted by our shallow breath.
    C               G/B
How causes dance away from me.
  D/F#    D7/F#       Em   D/F#
I am your pamphleteer.

[Verse 2]
   Em        D/F#    G          Am          G    D/F#
I walk this room in time to the beat of the Gestetner,
G     D/F#     Em       D5  Cmaj7
contemplate my next communique.
    Em       D/F#  G         Am     G        D/F#
The rhetoric and treason of saying that I'll miss you.
   G      D/F#       Em    D5         Cmaj7
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."
 
[Chorus]
      C                 G/B           Am7               G/B
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the feeble strength
    C           G/B            D/F#              G
of one like me remembering the way it could have been.
C                  G/B
Help me with this barricade.
Am7           G/B
No surrender. No defeat.
  C                  G/B
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
D/F#      D7/F#     Em   D/F#
I am your pamphleteer.
