Civil Twilight by the Weakerthans
For the riff parts (where it says F E D C G etc.) its easiest to play these all on the
string and move down.
My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
and I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
And angry like you never were;
and I ease us back into traffic
Dusk comes on and I wonder
Why I'm always remembering you, in civil twilight
F E D C (try running down the power chords starting on 13)
(repeat pattern for verse/chorus)
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!
This part of the day bewilders me
Streets slow down and ice over,
Dusk comes on and I struggle to stop,
To stop to stop thinking of you,in civil twilight
(run down the power chords)
Hey, every other hour I pass that house,
/
Where you told me that you had to go
Am5
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
/
That I stared at, instead of staring back at
you, My chance to say something seemed so breif, but it wasn't.
Now I know I had plenty of time
Between the sunset and certified darkness
Dusk comes on and I follow the exhaust from memory up to the end
The civil twilight
The civil twilight
The civil twilight
The civil twilight
