From the album Singing Bones [INTRO]
Em    B   F# B
Oh-oh oh
[VERSE 1]
B                       E
Lisa heard a whisper in her computer screen

         F#                                B
and the sad laser flicker of the Xerox machine

 B                       E
Out the tinted windows, cars sped silently

     F#                                    B
and everything was quiet, everything was clean
[CHORUS]
         F#             F#7         B
But she felt something waiting, a shadow underneath

Em    B       F#          B
Oh-oh oh, a shadow underneath
[VERSE 2]
  B                      E
Another cup of coffee, snacks from the machine

      F#                                     B
She stared down the hallway at the plastic trees

 B                             E
Waving under air ducts in the automated breeze

    F#                                  B
A whisper, a flicker trembling in the leaves
[CHORUS]
         F#       F#7              B
And she wanted to see it, but she didn't want to see

Em    B        F#             B
Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see
[VERSE 3]
 B                  E
Down the elevator, falling silently

F#                                  B
in the parking lot, silver puddles gleam

   B                    E
A canyon of buildings, lazy pipes of steam

    F#                               B
And all of it whispered, all of it breathed
[CHORUS]
     F#            F#7      B
And all the little shadows danced around her feet

Em    B          F#               B
Oh-oh oh, they danced around her feet

         F#       F#7                B
And she wanted to see them, but she didn't want to see

Em    B        F#             B
Oh-oh oh, she didn't want to see

Em    B   F# B
Oh-oh oh
