[Verse]
Em D
We sat in an auditorium painted hospital green,
Am7 Em Am7 Em
watched a woman rip the lining right out of the screen.
Em D
I was nervous, nervous as hell, you were nervously scribbling
Am7 Em Am7 Em
notes for a book on buster keaton
[Chorus]
G Em C Em Am G Em Am7 Em
You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back
[Verse]
Em D
You had his hat size down, with circles over your eyes
Am7 Em Am7 Em
you wrote diagonally instaed of side to side.
Em D
she said in Egypt the Nile runs unusually high,
Am7 Em Am7 Em
like the heater in Michigan, like the shadow in his eyes
[Chorus]
G Em C Em Am G Em Am7 Em
You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back
[Verse]
Em
Well I walked passed you while you were sleeping
D
I walked while you were dreaming of winning
Am7 Em Am7 Em
I walked while you were dreaming of running fast.
Em
Yeah I walked passed you while you were sleeping
D
I walked while you were dreaming of winning
Am7 Em Am7 Em
I walked while you were dreaming of running fast.
[Chorus]
G Em C Em Am G Em Am7 Em
You were the hare, you didn't care, for the tortise at your back
