Extraordinary Dinner Party
Tuning: E A D G B E
[Intro] x4
E
C A
[Verse 1]
E
Morning after snowstorm
Stand in the silence
C A
Almost feel reborn all alone on the street
E
It's a certain sort of stillness when the quiet surrounds you
C A
The only sound your shovel on concrete
F# A F# E A
I remember those piles from the snow plows always seemed much bigger back when I was a kid
F# A
Pushed all of the snow to the end of the driveway
F# E A
I was the only person up in the neighborhood
[Verse 2]
E
Morning after snowstorm
C A
I turned the ignition and I started my car
E
Morning after snowstorm
C A
I scraped off my windshield with the edge of a credit card
F#m A
I remember that drive into work
F#m E A
Still can hear the voice coming over the radio
F#m A F#m E A
Listen to our experts give the best tips for the next time you entertain dinner guests
[Chorus 1]
Bm A Bm A G
I thought of the day in a tie in the kitchen I sat and I watched you put make-up on
Bm A G
Thought of the day in the basement when I played house
Bm A Bm A G
I felt ashamed that I'd stayed in my head in the same place for so long
G
Because I was afraid to change
A G
But that's not an excuse to stay
[Verse 3]
D
Morning after snowstorm
E Bm
I climbed up on the snowbank and I stared at the neighborhood
D
Morning after snowstorm
E Bm F#m
I think I finally understood what they meant when they said there's a calm after the storm
[Bridge]
E F#m
Saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma's bookshelf
G
Watched a woman walk her trash out to the street
F# E
Father alone on the highway
F#m
I heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work
Saw my mother
G Bm
Saw how history loops around all of these moments and then I saw you
[Chorus 2]
A Bm A G
In a dress there with your eyes open wide to put make-up on
Bm A G
Thought of the day in the basement that I played house
Bm A Bm A G
And I felt ashamed I'd ignored all the hands that extended before and around me
G
Because I was afraid to change
A G
But that's not an excuse to stay
A
It's not an excuse

Morning after snowstorm
Stand in the silence
Almost feel reborn all alone on the street
It's a certain sort of stillness when the quiet surrounds you
The only sound your shovel on concrete
I remember those piles from the snow plows always
Seemed much bigger back when I was kid
Pushed all of the snow to the end of the driveway
I was the only person up in the neighborhood
Morning after snowstorm
I turned the ignition and I started my car
Morning after snowstorm
I scraped off my windshield with the edge of a credit card
I remember that drive into work
Still can hear the voice coming over the radio
Listen to our experts give the best tips
For the next time you entertain dinner guests
I thought of the day in a tie in the kitchen I sat
And I watched you put make-up on
Thought of the day in the basement when I played house
I felt ashamed that I'd stayed in my head in the same place for so long
Because I was afraid to change
But that's not an excuse to stay
Morning after snowstorm
I climbed up on the snowbank and I stared at the neighborhood
Morning after snowstorm
I think I finally understood what they meant
When they said there's a calm after the storm
Saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma's bookshelf
Watched a woman walk her trash out to the street
Father alone on the highway
I heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work
Saw my mother
Saw how history loops around all of these moments and then I saw you
In a dress there with your eyes open wide to put make-up on
Thought of the day in the basement that I played house
And I felt ashamed I'd ignored all the hands that extended before and around me
Because I was afraid to change
But that's not an excuse to stay
It's not an excuse
