[Verse 1]
A A+
Reasoned verse, some prose or rhymes
F#m Adim
Lose themselves in other times
Bm E
And waiting hopes cast silent spells
Bm E
That speak in crowded clues
Bm F
It cannot be a part of me
Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
For now it's part of you
[Verse 2]
A A+
Careful plays on fields that seem to
F#m Adim
Vanish when they're in between
Bm E
And softly as I walk away
Bm E
In freshly tattered shoes
Bm F
It cannot be a part of me
Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
For now it's part of you
[Bridge]
C#
Sunshine, ragtime
F#m
Blowing in the breeze
B
Midnight, looks right
E7 E+
Standing more at ease
[Verse 3]
A A+
Silhouettes and figures stay
F#m Adim
Close to what we had to say
Bm E
And one more time a faded dream
Bm E
Is saddened by the news
Bm F
It cannot be a part of me
Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
For now it's part of you
[Bridge]
C#
Well, sunshine, ragtime
F#m
Blowing in the breeze
B
Midnight, looks right
E7 E+
Standing more at ease
[Repeat Verse w/wordless echoed vocal]
A A+ F#m Adim Bm E Bm E
Bm F Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
[Bridge]
C#
Sunshine, ragtime
F#m
Blowing in the breeze
B
Midnight, looks right
E7 E+
Standing more at ease
[Verse 3]
A A+
Silhouettes and figures stay
F#m Adim
Close to what we had to say
Bm E
And one more time a faded dream
Bm E
Is saddened by the news
Bm F
It cannot be a part of me
Dm A Asus2 A Asus4 A Asus2 A
For now it's part of you
[Outro]
