Small Favors

[Em G Am C Bm D D/C D/B D/A]

Em                                                G
I have to sit you down, let me tell you what it's all about
                             Am          C                         G          Bm
'Cause I've been carrying a torch around and I've forgotten how to snuff it out
              Em                               G
And you have been unkind, that's a matter I cannot ignore.
                             Am             C                                D
We have to skirt around the truth sometimes, but it's time I told you what I came
       D/C
  here for...

[Chorus]
   D/B           D/A           G
To thank you for all the small favors
                                   C
I'm thinkin' now I hope it doesn't change us
                                   D
And take us to a time when we were strangers
In a two-station town
        C                           G     D
And you can't get the train to slow down
      G
Small Favors
                             C
Oh to you as sure as she was honest
                                 D
And now do you remember when you promised
To forgive me someday
    C                  Bm      Em
For debts that I could never repay
    C                  D       G
For debts that I could never repay

[G C D C G D]

            Em                                     G
And I could not forget, You looked at me as if I'd lost a bet
                          Am            C
And I hadn't opened up my big mouth yet, And I thought of crawling back
      G         Bm
    Into the plane.
                 Em                                    G
And thought it's sad to tell, I still remember how the dry-eye felt
                           Am          C                          D      D/C
Across the curtains in the cheap hotel, Lit-up dust clouds in the window panes

[Chorus]
      D/B           D/A           G
And I thank you for all the small favors
                                   C
I'm thinkin' now I hope it doesn't change us
                                   D
And take us to a time when we were strangers

In a two-station town
        C                           G
And you can't get the train to slow down
