Small Talk Relations
by Tift Merritt on "Traveling Alone"
Ok, so she plays this on piano but if you want the chords for guitar here they are
as I've figured them:
(No capo). All chords in song= C, Am, A#, F, Em. *Note: add fun walk-downs in
between chords for that bluesy feel.
C Am
Skipped a stone and watched it go
C Am
the arc and then the undertoe
C Am Em F
thinking a day is something like a prayer
So much to ask you started soft
Then the wait of locks come off
In the end you just hope someone's there
CHORUS:
C Em F
Cuz all these small talk relations
C Em F
No they ain't nothin' for me
C-Em A# F C
No nobody here knows the way that I feel
VERSE
There's no one to answer to
Just the dark and me and you
All the angels standin' round just wishin'
For the drag there of your smoke
Taste of skin, scent of hope
Raise their skirts up when no words are rising
CHORUS
Small Talk relations
I can't hear one thing from you
Don't nobody here at all know the way that I feel
BRIDGE
G
Workman in the street below
C
Softly play a radio
G C
Hear my static through the traffic
A#
Crowd just turns to leave
F
Secret current underneath
Em C
Cannot be heard above the racket
CHORUS
Enjoy! Tift is awesome!
