Another gorgeous song with a lilting jazz feel...
Although the song has easy chords, the key to the sound is Lianne's finger-
picking, which you just have to practise, I'm afraid.
It's not enough to know the chords; the song has to sway...
VERSE:
On the D chord, Lianne picks the 3rd/2nd/3rd string fretted at the 7th fret.
On the Gm7 chord she frets on and off the 2nd string at the 5th fret.
Chords:
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,
(maj7 (maj7)
There's no pause, no re-wind
CHORUS:
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Watching ourselves au cinma
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
(maj7)
Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-ah
VERSE:
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
(maj7 (maj(maj7 (maj7)
There's no pause, no re-wind, no pause, no re-wind
CHORUS:
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Watching ourselves au cinma
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
(maj7)
Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-ah
(repeat CHORUS: this time play D on "cinma-ah")
CODA:
Finger-pick as for VERSE/CHORUS.
...Where the story goes...
...With the curtains closed...
Watching ourselves au cinma...
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Watching ourselves au cinma, cinma-ah
(end on Gm7)
