Intro:
F - F - F
F - F - G
F - G - A - G - F

F			F		F
I'm standing on this corner.
F		      F		       G
Can't get their attention.
F	       G	 	      A	        G	                 F
Facing rush hour faces turned around.

F			F		F
I clutch my stack of paper
F		      F		       G
press one to a chest then 
F	                   G	             A	        G	                 F
watch it swoop and stutter to the ground.

F			F		F
I'm weary with right-angles
F		 F             G
abbreviated daylight
F	                    G         A	          G	         F
and waiting for a winter to be done.

F		F		F
Why do I still see you
F                           F		     G
in every mirrored window
F	                 G	         A	         G	                 F
in all that I could never overcome?

 	F			    F    
How I don't know what I should do 
       F				F
with my hands when I talk to you.
      F					  F
How you don't know where you should look 
     G             F     F
so you look at my hands.
       F				         F
How movements rise and then dissolve 
 F                       F
melted by our shallow breath.
        F 			 F
How causes dance away from me.
   G          Dm         F         G          F
I am your pamphleteer.

F			F	           F
I walk this room in time to 
F	                         F	       G
the beat of the Gestetner
F	                    G	 	  A	           G        F
contemplate my next communique.

F			F	        F
The rhetoric and treason
F	                         F	       G
of saying that I'll miss you
F	                            G	            A	           G                 F
Of saying "Hey, well maybe you should stay."

          F   			F			F
Sing "Oh what force on earth could be weaker than the 
  F 			     F
feeble strength of one"
		 F                    G                       Dm  F
like me remembering the way it could have been.
 F                        F
Help me with this barricade
F                    F
No surrender. No defeat.
F 				 F
A spectre's haunting Albert Street.
   G          Dm         F         G          F
I am your pamphleteer.
