Small Talk

[Intro (Verse 1)]
    C
And halfway home,
you caught me at the station
      F
Struck me up with quiet conversation
    Am                  G
It'd  been months since you had set me free
Fmaj7      C
     Filled me in on your newfound meditation
       F
The quiet life helped your dedication
          Am                 G                   Fmaj7
The dreams  that you loved more than you loved me

[Pre-Chorus]
    Am       Gm         Fmaj7
And I do not want to be cold to you
Am          Gm             Fmaj7
You left me no choice again

[Chorus]
     C    C       Dsus4         F
But, girl, you better  act your age
                C             Dsus4      F
Or you're gonna find yourself alone some day
         C        Dsus4        F
Standing still in the  same old place
            C        Dsus4      F
Looking the same way as   yesterday
C                    F
Let me let you in on a secret
        C
You got lies,
Dsus4               F
I    wish you would keep them
            C    Dsus4         F
Beside your cage with a broken lock
                G          Fmaj7
I'm sick of this small talk

[Post-Chorus]
                G          Fmaj7
I'm sick of this small talk

[Verse 2]
C    C
 You cannot lie,
                          F
not what I expected to see
You shake at every simple question
      Am                       G
I know  you more than you could ever hope I would
Fmaj7           C
     So take me up the stairs,
saw you from a distance
       F
With a cigarette,
you swore that you would quit
                Am             G
And what's this?  A cloud that hangs over our heads

[Pre-Chorus]
Fmaj7    Am       Gm         Fmaj7
     And I do not want to be cold to you
Am          Gm             Fmaj7
You left me no choice again

[Chorus]
     C    C       Dsus4         F
But, girl, you better  act your age
                C             Dsus4      F
Or you're gonna find yourself alone some day
         C     Dsus4             F
Standing still in   the same old place
            C       Dsus4 F
Looking the same as yesterday
C                    F
Let me let you in on a secret
        C
You got lies,
Dsus4               F
I    wish you would keep them
       C         Dsus4         F
Beside your cage with a broken lock
                G          Fmaj7
I'm sick of this small talk

[Post-Chorus]
                G      Fmaj7
I'm sick of this small talk 
                G     Fmaj7
I'm sick of this small     talk
            G          Fmaj7 C
Sick of this small talk
