Tabs
Momentary Thief
from the album Dryland
Tab by Matt Morrow
Capo III
For the intro/verses she walks up from Em to G, and does a pull-off thing like this:
----0--0--0----------3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3--
----0--0--0----------0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--
----0--0--0----------0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--
-2--2--2--2-----0----0--0--0--0----0--0--0--0--
-2--2--2--2-----2----3-p2--3-p2----3-p2--3-p2--
-0--0--0--0--2--3----3--3--3--3----3--3--3--3--
There are also places in the verse where she does a similar pull off with Em,
toggling between 022200 and 022000. I'll mark it with a *.
Em --> G (4x)
Em G Em G
Well, I never won you over, I just caught you on a good day
Em G Em G
We were laughing in the back of an old city taxi
C D Em* C D Em*
Oh, with no mention of my borrowed time
Em G Em G
Just the glow of the whiskey and the holiday lights
Em G Em G
Mm-hmmmmm Mm-hmmmmm
Em G Em G
Well, there's no need to name this, we're just gonna call it a day
Em G Em D G
So you can run out in the front yard and wave goodbye to the plane, to the plane
C G Em* G
Oh, but I remember the corner, the bar, and the moment that I came untethered
C G Em* C C7
And fell into that scene from my favorite movie, yeah, you know the one
Em C G D Em C G D
Well, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah
Em C G D Em C
Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah
G D Em
I'm already gone out the door
Em C G D Em C G D Em C G D B7
And I stole this moment for me, yeah, this moment for me, yeah
Em --> G (2X)
Well, you're no kind of contrast to all my somber ways
We may as well have a picnic, darling, out in the driving, pouring rain
And I'll just carry on, pretend that's just how I'm inclined
So baby, grab a hold of something steady, steady, cause I'm cutting the line
And I remember your shoulder, your breath, and the moment that I came untethered
And I danced into that dream, the one where you kissed me and then the camera flashed
Well, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah
Yeah, I'll tell you what, I'll save you the trouble of running away, yeah
I'm already gone out the door and I stole this moment for me
