Tom: Am
Am C D
Keep it quick, say it brief
F G Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
C D
Short on time, that's a gift
F G Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift
[Verse 1]
G C F Em7
Disparate parts, desperate hearts pulled through a sieve
Am G C F
Hand me a chart so I know how to start to say this is all I
G
can give
C Dm
To summarize seems incomplete
Dm G Em
How novel is a novel that can fit on one sheet
Em
It seems that I'm destined to fail
Dm G
To compress myself to the size of a thumbnail
[Chorus]
Am C D
Keep it quick, say it brief
F G Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
C D
Short on time, that's a gift
F G C Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Na na na, na na
C D
They'll catch the drift
F
Na na na, na na
F G Am
They'll catch the drift
Am
Na na na, na na
C D
They'll catch the drift
F
Na na na, na na
F G Am
They'll catch the -
[Verse 2]
G
Don't like what's revealed here
C F Em7 Am
When your depth of field's near, it's hard to come close
G C F
Chip stones from the boulder, suddenly my vulnerability shows
G Am
Oooooh
C Dm
You can crop and trim till all that's left
Am G Em
is the essence of a presence that is feeling bereft
Em
Of a guard in just the gist of a tale
Dm G
that is less of an image and more of a thumbnail
[Chorus]
Am C D
Keep it quick, say it brief
F G Am
If it's fast it will be a relief
C D
Short on time, that's a gift
F G Am
Count your seconds, and they'll catch the drift
[Post-Chorus]
Am
Na na na, na na
C D
They'll catch the drift
F
Na na na, na na
F G Am
They'll catch the drift
Am
Na na na, na na
C D
They'll catch the drift
F
Na na na, na na
F G Am
They'll catch the drift
