Private Conversation - Lyle Lovett

Private Conversation chords

[Verse 1]
        C       D      G   
And his hand it fell behind her
       C       D        G
As his arm it reached around
        C      D      G
And she looked at the window
        C           D         G
And she watched the shade go down

           [Chorus]
         C       D     G
It was a private conversation
C      D         G
No one heard her say
         C       D      G
That the man she left behind her
         C       D      G
Was two thousand miles away

        C        D        G
Singing boy pick up that fiddle
     C         D      G
And play that steel guitar
     C        D      G

    hide ad ⨯
    

        

    



And find yourself a lady
    C           D         G 
And dance right where you are
    C    D    G
Hey heyyy......
    C    D    G
Heyyy...

            [Verse 2]
There was a lonely girl from nowhere
With a smile all sweet with pain
And she never stopped to wonder
If she'd see him again

            [Chorus]
It was a private conversation
No one heard her say
That man that she was looking for
Was only twenty streets away

Singing boy pick up that fiddle
And play that steel guitar
And find yourself a lady
And dance right where you are

            [Verse 3]
And the band it just kept playing
As she came walking in
And he never stopped to wonder
If he'd see her again

           [Chorus]
It was a private conversation
No one heard him say
That girl he left behind him
Was two thousand miles away

He just sang boy pick up that fiddle
And play that steel guitar
And find yourself a lady
And dance right where you are

           [Verse 4]
And the moral of this story
Is I guess it's easier said than done
To look at what you've been through
And to see what you've become
           
	   [Chorus]
It's a private conversation
No one hears you say
It's a private conversation
Hey...
