Annie Blackman - Pickets

                [Intro]
E  A  E
………

[Verse 1]
E                           
..Had a plan where you would visit
B
..Hop the fence with missing pickets
A                                    E
..Makes me sad, but I don’t wish it now
E
..If I could write a better song
     B  
Then he’d come back from being gone
 A                                E        A        E    A  E
God, it sounds romantic, but the logic’s ******* flawed……

[Interlude]
E  A  E
………

[Verse 2]
E
..Unencumbered on the train
       B
‘Cause I know all the station names
     A                                 E  A E 
In order, but I’ll list them just to check…..
E
..Goes Newark to Secaucus and
       B  
Your shoulder underneath my hand
 A                                    E      A    E   A  E 
Man, I could have called it, panning out so bad again……

[Chorus]
        E               A     
If you say sorry, I’ll ask what you mean
      B          A
How casual and cool of me
 E               A                  B             E 
Just the way I practiced, but I’m chattering my teeth

[Interlude]
E  A  E
……..

[Verse 3]
E
..When I see you, say nic? things
 B          
And nod to show I’m listening
  A                               E           A     E 
Can’t predict the feeling, but I b?t I’ll be mixed up
    E            
So gesture for a final light
      B         
And state the stillness of the night
  A                                    E    A     E    A  E         
Little lost and little gained when he goes back inside……

[Chorus]
        E               A     
If you say sorry, I’ll ask what you mean
      B          A
How casual and cool of me
 E               A                  B             A
Just the way I practiced, but I’m chattering my teeth
          E              A
Or don’t say sorry, and we won’t discuss
      B          A
How casual and cool of us
 E            A                   B          E 
Like it even matters ’cause it’d never be enough
