CRACKING (Suzanne Vega)

[intro]
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
It's a one time thing, it just happens a lot
Csus2 G/B G G5/F#
Walk with me and we will see what we have got
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F# Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
Ahhhhhhh... Ahhhhhhh...
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
My footsteps are ticking, like water dripping from a tree
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
Walking a hairline, and stepping very carefully
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F# Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F# G5/F#
Ahhhhhhh... Ahhhhhhh...
Em7 Em7/B A7 A7 C Cmaj7 G5 G[single note]
Ahhhhhhh...
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
My heart is broken; it's worn out at the knees
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
Hearing muffled, seeing blind, soon it will hit the deep freeze
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F# Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
Ahhhhhhh...
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
And something is cracking, I don't know where
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
Ice on the sidewalk, brittle branches in the air
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F#
The sun is blinding, dizzy golden, dancing green
Csus2 G/B G5 F#[single note]
Through the park in the afternoon, wondering where the hell
Csus2 G/B G5 G5/F# G5/F#
I have been
Em7 Em7/B A7 A7 C Cmaj7 A7 A7 C Cmaj7 G5 G[single note]
Ah ha haaaaa...
INTRO AND VERSE:
[Most of the verse just uses the first four measures of tab.]
[Note that whenever the G5 measure comes before the Em7-A7 part,
there is also an A bass note in the second half of the measure.]
