La Dispute – Extraordinary Dinner Party (Guitar)

               E
Morning after snowstorm

              C                     A
Almost feel reborn all alone on the street

                        E
It's a certain sort of stillness when the quiet surrounds you

    C                         A
The only sound your shovel on concrete

           F#                     A                           F#               E       A
I remember those piles from the snow plows always seemed much bigger back when I was a kid

                  F#                     A
Pushed all of the snow to the end of the driveway

          F#          E         A
I was the only person up in the neighborhood

               E
Morning after snowstorm

               C                       A
I turned the ignition and I started my car

               E
Morning after snowstorm

                 C                            A
I scraped off my windshield with the edge of a credit card

           F#m             A
I remember that drive into work

                   F#m          E        A
Still can hear the voice coming over the radio

              F#m              A                 F#m            E        A
Listen to our experts give the best tips for the next time you entertain dinner guests

                   Bm      A                   Bm         A              G
I thought of the day in a tie in the kitchen I sat and I watched you put make-up on

                 Bm        A                     G
Thought of the day in the basement when I played house

          Bm             A                       Bm         A      G
I felt ashamed that I'd stayed in my head in the same place for so long

                        G
Because I was afraid to change

           A                 G
But that's not an excuse to stay

              D
Morning after snowstorm

                     E                           Bm
I climbed up on the snowbank and I stared at the neighborhood

              D
Morning after snowstorm

                         E                             Bm                            F#m
I think I finally understood what they meant when they said there's a calm after the storm

E                                                       F#m
   Saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma's bookshelf

G
   Watched a woman walk her trash out to the street

F#                              E
   Father alone on the highway

                                                F#m
   I heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work

                   G                                                 Bm
   Saw how history loops around all of these moments and then I saw you

     A                     Bm        A           G
In a dress there with your eyes open wide to put make-up on

                Bm        A                      G
Thought of the day in the basement that I played house

              Bm          A                         Bm        A         G
And I felt ashamed I'd ignored all the hands that extended before and around me

                        G
Because I was afraid to change

            A               G
But that's not an excuse to stay

      A
It's not an excuse
