Tuning: G C E A

STRAIGHT LINES (Suzanne Vega) ----------------------------- [It was next-to-impossible to accurately depict the timing, but it should be obvious if you've heard the song. Ds4 is actually Dsus4, and Ds9 is Dsus9.]

^Eb Those soft golden lights in the m^Forning ^Eb Are now on her wooden ^Ffloor ^Eb The wind has swept them through the ap^Fartment, she won't need them ^GmAnymore, ^Fanymore, ^Ebanymore ^Ds4

She's cut down on her lovers Though she still dreams of them at night She's growing straight lines where once were flowers She is streamlined, she is taking the shade down from the light To see the straight lines Straaaaaight lines She wants to cut through the circles That she has lived in before She wants to finally kill the delusions, she won't need them Anymore, anymore, anymore There's a sound across the alley Of cold metal too close to the bone And you can see if you look in her window The face of a woman finally alone Behind straight lines Straaaaaight lines Behind straight lines Straaaaaight lines [End on Dsus4.] - Adam Schneider, schn0170@maroon.tc.umn.edu
