Emmylou Harris Slow Surprise written by Chris Smither
Am G F Am G F
C Am
There is a way that subtle changes come to stay
F Am
Barely noticed, hardly known
C Am
One day you'll say my situation's locked away
F Am
But by tomorrow you're all alone
C F Am
It seems so sudden, but it's not, it's only grown
C G F Am
From a seed that long ago was left forgotten in the snow
C F Am
And has a way with slow surprises all its own
Am C Am
It's hard to show, but like a boulder rollin' slow
F Am
Or a rumble deep in the ground
C Am
Things whisper low and by the time I really know
F Am
What's been movin' they've settled down
C F Am
Too late to see the way they're shiftin' round
C G F Am
Too late to say there's bound to be another way
C F Am
It's all been said and done without a sound
Am G F Am G F
C Am
This comes to me, and now that I begin to see
F Am
It's not dramatic, it's nothing grand
C Am
I used to be half of the whole of you and me
F Am
Now I'm the limit of all I am
C F Am
It seems so simple, nothin' much to understand
C G F Am
You walked out and closed the door, said I don't live here anymore
C F Am
And now nothin's hangin' heavy in my hands
C F Am
Now nothin's hangin' heavy in my hands
C Am
In my hand in my hands
F Am
Nothin's hanging heavy in my hands
