Extraordinary Dinner Party

               E
Morning after snowstorm
Stand in the silence
              C                     A
Almost feel reborn all alone on the street
                        E
It's a certain sort of stillness when the quiet surrounds you
    C                         A
The only sound your shovel on concrete
           F#                     A                           F#               E       A
I remember those piles from the snow plows always seemed much bigger back when I was a kid
                  F#                     A
Pushed all of the snow to the end of the driveway
          F#          E         A
I was the only person up in the neighborhood

               E
Morning after snowstorm
               C                       A
I turned the ignition and I started my car
               E
Morning after snowstorm
                 C                            A
I scraped off my windshield with the edge of a credit card
           F#m             A
I remember that drive into work
                   F#m          E        A
Still can hear the voice coming over the radio
              F#m              A                 F#m            E        A

                   Bm      A                   Bm         A              G
I thought of the day in a tie in the kitchen I sat and I watched you put make-up on
                 Bm        A                     G
Thought of the day in the basement when I played house
          Bm             A                       Bm         A      G
I felt ashamed that I'd stayed in my head in the same place for so long
                        G
Because I was afraid to change
           A                 G
But that's not an excuse to stay

              D
Morning after snowstorm
                     E                           Bm
I climbed up on the snowbank and I stared at the neighborhood
              D
Morning after snowstorm
                         E                             Bm                            F#m
I think I finally understood what they meant when they said there's a calm after the storm

E                                                       F#m
   Saw my grandpa at his workbench building grandma's bookshelf
G
   Watched a woman walk her trash out to the street
F#                              E
   Father alone on the highway
                                                F#m
   I heard the salt trucks and neighbors off to work
   Saw my mother
                   G                                                 Bm
   Saw how history loops around all of these moments and then I saw you

     A                     Bm        A           G
In a dress there with your eyes open wide to put make-up on
                Bm        A                      G
Thought of the day in the basement that I played house
              Bm          A                         Bm        A         G
And I felt ashamed I'd ignored all the hands that extended before and around me
                        G
Because I was afraid to change
            A               G
But that's not an excuse to stay
      A
It's not an excuse
