Emmylou Harris - Slow Surprise

m 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

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 shift around
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

C G F Am C F Am
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 under stand
C G F Am
you walked out and closed the door , said i don’t live here anymore Am
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
