LEAD-IN:
( Em ) CMaj7 F C C
F C Dm7 C
Well, here you are in person. "Tell me, how long has it been?"
F F F G
Trapped in painful conversation, and there's no way I can win.
Am7 G F C
Yet I'm lately not so hard to please, so grateful for small "victories"
F F
as you've too much shame or too much class
F G G G7 G7
to ask what you would love to ask:
CHORUS:
C Em F G9
Am I over you? Will I ever be?
CMaj7 F F G
Much as I might wish it true, sweetly as it sounds to me,
F G F C C
no matter what I do, that's something I can't see.
Am G F C
It's not just that I could miss you more, it's more I'd fall apart.
F F F G7
See, you're stitched through every tissue of my body mind and heart.
LARGELY INSTRUMENTAL CHORUS:
C Em F G9
CMaj7 F F G
F G F C C
... no matter what I do, that's somewhere I can't see:
Em Am F C
Over you! Such a destination, such a mythic promised land!
F F F G
I can't say I'll ever get there but I'll tell you where I am:
Am7 G F C
where my fragile sanity depends on drinking with well-meaning friends
F F F G
lacking sense enough to keep them from asking anything so trite and dumb as:
C Em F G9
Am I over you? Will I ever be?
CMaj7 F F G
Much as I might wish it true, sweetly as it sounds to me,
F G F C ( C Em ) CMaj7 C6
no matter what I do, that's someplace I can't be: over you.
