Song title: Au Cinéma Original Release: Forget EP Original Album: Is Your Love Big Enough? Words and Music by Lianne La Havas & Matt Hales Copyright © 2012 Warner Music UK Limited Published by Warner Music UK Limited Transcribed by Gavin Chart ([email protected]) NOTES: Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel... Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger- picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid. It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway... VERSE: Notes: Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure. An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7. Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

                   Em9-Em7
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,

                                             Gm7
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
  Em9-Em7
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame

                   Gm7
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,

           A7     Gm7   A7
There's no pause, no re-wind
[Chorus]
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma

Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7                                  A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[Verse]
                  Em9-Em7
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
                   Gm7
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
           Em9
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
                           Gm7
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...

           A7     Gm7   A7    Gm7 A7     Gm7   A7
There's no pause, no re-wind; no  pause, no re-wind
[Chorus] (x2)
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma

Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7                                  A7  Gm7  A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[Coda]
Em9-Em7
...Where the story goes...

                     Gm7
...With the curtains closed...

                             Em9-Em7
Watching ourselves au cinéma...

Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
[Outro] Gm7
