[Verse 1]
A7          D    A7        D
Unsentimental, traveling around

A7          D    A7        D
Sure of myself, sure of it now

A7                    D
But you were standing there so close to me

A7                    D
Like the future was supposed to be

A7                    D
In the aisles of the grocery

A7                    D
And the blocks uptown
A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D [Verse 2]
A7      D   A7          D
I remember, remember it well

A7         D          A7          D
But if I'd forgotten, could you tell?

A7                    D
In the shadow of your first attack

A7                    D
I was questioning and looking back

A7                    D
You said, "Baby, we don't speak of that"

A7                    D
Like a real aristocrat
A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D [Verse 3]
A7          D         A7       D
Compound to compound, lazy and safe

A7          D         A7       D
Wanted to leave it, wanted to wait

A7                     D
When the taxi door was open wide

A7                     D
I pretended I was horrified

A7                     D
By the uniform and gloves outside

A7                     D
Of the courtyard gate

A7           D           G          D
You're not a victim, but neither am I

A7           D           G          D
Nostalgic for garbage, desperate for time

A7                      D
I could blame it on your mother's hair

A7                      D
Or the colors that your father wears

A7                      D
But I know that I was never fair

A7                      D
You were always fine
A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D A7 D G D [Verse 4]
A7          D    A7        D
Unsentimental, traveling around

A7          D    A7        D
Sure of myself, sure of it now

A7                    D
But you were standing there so close to me

A7                    D
