NOTES:
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:
Notes:
Lianne picks the open Em9/Em7 chords more or less as in the guitar figure.
An alternative is to find a strumming pattern for the open Em9 - Em7.
Play around with these chords and try to find a pattern that works for you.

[Verse]
                   Em9-Em7
Sometimes when you talk, mm-hmm,
                                             Gm7
And I'm your Betty Boo, and we're singing it close
Like the girls in Belleville rendez-vous
  Em9-Em7
I wish that we could somehow freeze the frame
                   Gm7
But this isn't the silver-screen, oh no,
           A7     Gm7   A7
There's no pause, no re-wind
 
[Chorus]
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7                                  A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
 
[Verse]
                  Em9-Em7
Now we cut to the girl, alone
She's found on the Brooklyn Bridge
                   Gm7
And she's truly at home,
Oh, her step has a whole new spring
           Em9
Big bright lights of the city are shining for her
There's a thirst in her eyes, and her heart,
                           Gm7
'Though she thinks to look back, back, she won't...
           A7     Gm7   A7    Gm7 A7     Gm7   A7
There's no pause, no re-wind; no  pause, no re-wind
 
[Chorus] (x2)
Em9-Em7
Time to find out where the story goes,
Sadly too hip with the curtains closed,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7                                  A7  Gm7  A7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
 
[Coda]
Em9-Em7
...Where the story goes...
                     Gm7
...With the curtains closed...
                             Em9-Em7
Watching ourselves au cinéma...
Em9-Em7
Taking our positions as the cameras roll,
You'll be the guy, I'll be the girl,
Gm7
Watching ourselves au cinéma, cinéma-ah
 
[Outro]
Gm7
