Maybe Another Time

Ab        Fm7        Bbm7     Eb7
  The sunlight stabs my eyes
Ab             Fm7             Bbm7       Eb7
 There’s birds perching on the powerlines
Ab        Fm7            Bbm7     Eb7
 I wonder if you woke in someone’s arms
             Cm7  Eb7      Ab
And if you’d ever consider mine

( Fm7  Bbm7  Eb7  Ab )
( Fm7  Bbm7  Eb7 )

Ab           Fm7          Bbm7
 The swaying shades of acacias
         Eb  Ab            Fm7
In flower a-rrangements suggest
Bbm7               Eb         Ab   Fm7
That it’s time for me to be a man
   Bbm7      Dbm    Cm7
Or else with what regrets
      Fm7   Bbm7         Eb
Would I be left to live forever

Ab                   Ab7   Ab            C7
 The sky hangs undisturbed like a static pond
                        Fm                 Ab7      Ab   Db7M
Oh world, may you be preserved just as you are when I  return
Cm7                     Db  C  Gb  Ab   Db
 The scent of evening air  is cinnamon sweet here
         Dbm7                       Dbm  Ab
But it’s lost on my lungs breathing in

( Fm7  Bbm7  Ab )
( Fm7  Bbm7  Eb7 )
( Ab  F   Bbm7  Db° )
( Cm7  Fm7  Bbm7  Eb7 )

Ab       Fm7        Bbm7
 The sunlight stabs my eyes
             Eb7
(It stabs my eyes)
Ab             Fm7            Bbm7             Bbm7
 There’s ferns running up the traffic signs outside
    Eb7
(Outside)
Ab          Fm7          Bbm7  Dbm      Cm
 I tell the ether all of my desires and she says
Cm7   Eb      Ab7M
"Maybe another time"
