Ariadnes Afternoon

Eb Bb Eb Bb Ab

[Verse]

Bb
Five o'clock, a Turin sky
          Bb
Where the day-end's sleepy shadows slide
Bb
A train of thought will wake you soon
          Bb
I'll gaze up from Ariadne's afternoon

[Bridge]

    Ebmaj7
And oh, just like she, eternally
Bb
Bound up in fantasy
   Ebmaj7
Comparing life I know to life in
Bb
Books and television shows
      Db
Just imitating
        F
All the things they're faking

[Chorus]

         Cm       Bb
Coz it's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Just to love
Eb                      Bb
Never mind the time and distance
Cm                    Bb
Nothing could be so remiss as
Cm          Bb        Cm        F
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh
     Cm       Bb
It's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Not to love
Eb                      Bb
Nothing's gonna last forever
Cm                    Bb
Maybe we could just endeavour
Cm          Bb                  Cm       F
To try to get along together, we could see
        Db Cm Eb
Like Ariadne
   Db Cm Eb
Ariadne
  Db Cm Eb
Ariadne
  Db Cm Eb
Ariadne

[Verse]

    Bb
And I believe you care for me
           Bb
Though I'm not the girl you thought I'd be
    Bb
The face may fit, the long dark hair
          Bb
But that slowly, stern and sullen stare

[Bridge]

    Ebmaj7
And when I try my best just to connect
Bb
With that great part of you
     Ebmaj7                             Bb
The words all tumble out, those virgin vows
     Bb
Well some would go without
     Db                   F
That deeper meaning of unspoken feeling

[Chorus]

         Cm       Bb
Coz it's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Just to love
Eb                      Bb
Never mind the time and distance
Cm                    Bb
Nothing could be so remiss as
Cm          Bb        Cm        F
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh
     Cm7       Bb
It's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Not to love
Eb                      Bb
Nothing's gonna last forever
Cm                    Bb
Maybe we could just endeavour
Cm          Bb                  Cm       F
To try to get along together, we could see
        Db Cm Eb
Like Ariadne
   Db Cm Eb
Ariadne
  Db Cm Eb
Ariadne
    Db Cm Eb
Oh Ariadne
  Db Cm Eb
Ariadne

[Bridge]

    Ebmaj7
And when I try my best just to connect
Bbmaj7
I feel you turn away
     Ebmaj7                             Bbmaj7
Your words all tumble out, they make no sound
     Bb
And I am left without
      Db                   F
Your deeper meaning of unspoken feeling

[Chorus]

         Cm       Bb
Coz it's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Just to love
Eb                      Bb
Never mind the time and distance
Cm                    Bb
Nothing could be more remiss than
Cm          Bb        Cm        F
Making promises that you can't keep, oh oh
     Cm7       Bb
It's hard enough
Cm       Bb
Not to love
Eb                      Bb
Nothing's gonna last forever
Cm                    Bb
Maybe we could just endeavour
Cm          Bb                  Cm       F
To try to get along together, we could see
         Cm       Bb
Oh it's hard
Cm       Bb
Not to love
Eb                      Bb
Nothing's gonna last forever
Cm                    Bb
Maybe we could just endeavour
Cm          Bb                  Cm       F
To try to get along together, we could see
             F
Hey we could see, hey we could see
           F
Oh we could see, see
