Sun In An Empty Room

Sun in an Empty Room by The Weakerthans

Intro: 

A E B F#m (x2) (this pattern repeats throughout the song)


A             E            B                F#m
Now that the furniture’s returning to its goodwill home
A             E                B                     F#m
Dishes and last week’s paper, rumors and elections, crosswords, and an ending war
A             E                B                     F#m
the black our fingers smeared their prints on every door pulled shut
A             E                B                           F#m
now that the last month’s rent is scheming with the damage deposit
                    A                       E
take this moment to decide (sun in an empty room)
                      B                      F#m
if we meant it, if we tried (sun in an empty room)
                           A                     E
or felt around for far too much (sun in an empty room)
                             B                        F#m
for things that accidentally touched (sun in an empty room)

(chord pattern repeats to end)

the hands that we nearly hold with pennies for the gst
the shoulders we lean our shoulders into on the subway, mutter an apology
the shins that we kick beneath the table, that reflexive cry
the faces we meet one awkward beat too long and terrified

know the things we need to say (sun in an empty room)
and said already anyways (sun in an empty room)
on parallelograms of light (sun in an empty room)
on walls that we repainted white (sun in an empty room)

sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room
sun in an empty room

take eight minutes and divide (sun in an empty room)
by ninety million lonely miles (sun in an empty room)
watch the shadow cross the floor (sun in an empty room)
we don’t live here anymore (sun in an empty room)
