Simon & Garfunkel - The Dangling Conversation: chords

         D#        A#    F
It's a still life water color
      D#      A#    F
Of a now late afternoon
        D#          A#         Cm
As the sun shines through the curtain lace
      A#             Gm
And shadows wash the room
        A#                Gm
And we sit and drink our coffee
 G#                              G
Cast in our indifference, like shells
upon the shore
         F
You can hear the ocean roar
        D#       A#    F
In the dangling conversation,
         A#   F      D#
and the superficial sighs
                    A#  Gm
The borders of our lives

And you read your Emily Dickinson
And I my Robert Frost
And we note our place with bookmarkers
That measure what we've lost
Like a poem poorly written
We are verses out of rhythm
Couplets out of rhyme
In syncopated time
And the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
Are the borders of our lives

Yes, we speak of things that matter
With words that must be said
"Can analysis be worthwhile?"
"Is the theater really dead?"
And how the room is softly faded
And I only kiss your shadow
I cannot feel your hand
You're a stranger now unto me
Lost in the dangling conversation
And the superficial sighs
In the borders of our lives
