Civil Twilight by Weakerthans
Civil Twilight
For the riff parts (where it says F E D C G etc.) its easiest to play these all on the
string and move down.
F Bb
My confusion corner commuters are cursing the cold away
F Bb
As December tries to dissemble the length of their working day
F Bb
And they bite their mitts off to show me transfers, deposit change
F Bb
and I can't stop finding your face in their faces, all rearranged
C C/C#
And angry like you never were;
F
and I ease us back into traffic
Bb
Dusk comes on and I wonder
F Bb
Why I'm always remembering you, in civil twilight
F E D C (try running down the power chords starting on 13)
(repeat pattern for verse/chorus)
For the most part I think about golfing and constantly calculate
all the seconds left in the minutes, and so on, etcetera
Or recite the names of provinces and Hollywood actors;
Oh, Ontario! Oh, Jennifer Jason Leigh!
This part of the day bewilders me
Streets slow down and ice over,
Dusk comes on and I struggle to stop,
To stop to stop thinking of you,in civil twilight
(run down the power chords) F5 E5 D5 C5 G5
G5 A5
Hey, every other hour I pass that house,
Bb5 C5 C/C#5
Where you told me that you had to go
G5 Am5
I wonder if the landlord has fixed the crack,
Bb5 C5 C/C#5
That I stared at, instead of staring back at
F Bb
you, My chance to say something seemed so breif, but it wasn't.
F Bb
Now I know I had plenty of time
F
Between the sunset and certified darkness
Bb F Bb
Dusk comes on and I follow the exhaust from memory up to the end
F5 E5 D5 C5 Bb5
The civil twilight
