Suzanne Vega – Songs In Red And Gray (Guitar)

      Am             Asus2           Fadd#11
The reproach on your daughter's most beautiful face

        Am          Asus2         Fadd#11
Made me wonder just how she could know

        Am             Asus2        Fadd#11
Of that something that happened between you and me

        Am          Asus2     Fadd#11
So much more than a long time ago

    G/D                         Csus4
Her mother, I can see, lives within her still

      G/D                       Csus4
Cause she looked at me with her eyes

G/D                    Csus4
Though I had only just met her right then

  E
I feel that she peeled back my guilty disguise

    Am          Asus2          Fadd#11
Did I break the thread, or did you break the thread?

        Am            Asus2          Fadd#11
Well at this point we could ask who cares

Am         Asus2    Fadd#11
As for the promises broken and frayed

          Am      Asus2       Fadd#11
Well it's 19 years late for repairs

    G/D                       Csus4
The grey pewter vase held the deep red rose,

G/D                  Csus4
 One piece of coral shone white,

       G/D                         Csus4
By the brass candlestick near your red velvet coat,

   E
Is everything I can recall of one night

         Am             Asus2   Fadd#11
Will you please tell me why I remember these things

      Am          Asus2         Fadd#11
After all of this time, I don't know

Am          Asus2          Fadd#11
I must have left all those feelings inside

           Am           Asus2       Fadd#11
Cause that year I had no courage to show

G/D                       Csus4
 Was I the name you could never pronounce?

G/D                  Csus4
Did I even figure at all?

G/D                    Csus4
All of this happened before she was born

      E
Did I shadow her young pencil marks on the wall

Am          Asus2      Fadd#11
 Still I am sure I was only but one

     Am         Asus2         Fadd#11
Of a number who darkened that door

        Am            Asus2          Fadd#11
Of your home and your heart and your family and wife

           Am          Asus2   Fadd#11
Who'd been darkened so often before

        G/D                      Csus4
And the red leaf it looks to the hard gray stone

        G/D                      Csus4
To each other they know what they mean

G/D                       Csus4
Somewhere their future is still yet to come

   E
In ways that are yet as of now unforeseen
