Second Song

Tom: A

A                Bm           
  The second song came softly
G                                  D  E
  He heard it seeping through the vent
A                         Bm         
  The notes were long and languished
G                           D      E  
  They described their circumstance

A            Bm              
The rent was halfway spent
G                     D  E  
  The day was peeling hot
A                  Bm                   
She asked, "Can we leave this place?"
   G                   D  E      
He answered, "Probably not."

                                                                
[Chorus]
         F#m            B           D              A
They had less than they guessed but more than they knew
F#m           B            D               A     
  That second song was the best they could do
    F#m        B                D                                         
And all of the while there were two: 
G                  D            
one eyed green and one eyed blue

A  Bm  G  D E


[Verse]
A                         Bm                         
  They came from somewhere simple
G                            D     E                       
  A place too plain to be described
A                     Bm          
  She found her own dimensions
G                           D   E    
  Ran like the color of her eyes

A               Bm              
She looked with one eye green
G                    D   E      
  And one eye cobalt blue
A               Bm                     
He looked right back at them
G                          D      E
  And shivered through and through


[Chorus]
         F#m            B           D              A
They had less than they guessed but more than they knew
F#m           B            D               A     
  That second song was the best they could do
    F#m        B                D                                         
And all of the while there were two: 
G                  D            
one eyed green and one eyed blue

[Verse]
A                   Bm                                             
  He heard his name ring hollow 
G                         D      E 
  as it sputtered from her mouth
A                   Bm                                                           
  He heard the door frame shudder 
G                          D    E
  as she shuttled from the house

A           Bm                                                                              
She left one green eyed child 
G                   D    E 
  and one with cobalt blue
A           Bm                                                   
He held them close at hand 
    G       
and wondered what he would
D                       E
wondered what he would do

        
[Chorus]
         F#m            B           D              A
They had less than they guessed but more than they knew
F#m           B            D               A     
  That second song was the best they could do
    F#m        B                D                                         
And all of the while there were two: 
G                  D            
one eyed green and one eyed blue
