[Intro]
| G | G*** D*| G | G*** D*|
[Verse 1]
G G***
She broached again in the manner she’d performed before
D* G
Over the careful morning scones that he adored all too quickly
G*** D*
As he cranked up his jaw and turned off his ears
G
And she reminded they were his favorites, and
G***
“Could we please consider for our morning view
D* G G*** D* C
That flower box window with the three sides of glass
C
Like in the magazines”
[Verse 2]
G G***
“Consider I will,” he said “Consider it gone from your head
D* G
As it is, I’m late and not in need of a view
G***
And you will idle your time away, like a bird
D* G
Perched at the window sill, so off I go
G*** D* G
And I’m gonna auction you off if you insist
G
My little gem, my little hen
C C C (D)
To persist with this mentality”
[Verse 3]
G G*** D*
“No more of this,” she said “Living in the shadow of my other”
G G*** D*
Sledgehammer, saw Hacked away at the wall Giggles, fear, and dust
G G***
She chipped away And punched a hole and the sun winked through
D* G
With its artist eye as if to say “Where’ve you been, Attica
G C C C (D)
Break the seal of your conventionality”
[Chorus]
G D C F
Not used to this awakening in you
G D F C
Stashed your dreams up in the cupboard bare
C*** F****** C*** F***** C*** F***** D
You know your name
[Verse 4]
G
She made her way to see that sun
G*** D*
And headed out the door with a wide stride
G
To attack it from the other side
G***
She ripped away, she talked aloud
D* G
Belly laughed, and one by one
G***
The bottled spirits came to the curb
D* G
To see what was going on
G
“Attica my dear,” they said
C C C (D)
“Have you gone and lost your head”
[Verse 5]
G G***
“Here’s a magazine, now Go and find me that window frame
D* G G
And to the nursery with you We’ve got a lot to do
C C C (D)
You can help or get out of my way”
[Chorus]
G D C F
Not used to this awakening in you
G D F C
Drink your tea in the same way
C*** F***** C*** F*****
Same time each day
C*** F***** C*** F*****
You know your name
D G
And you know who you are
[After-Chorus]
G G G G
Attica, Attica, Attica, Attica,
G G G
Attica, Attica, Attica
| D | D | D |
| G* D* F* C* |
[Verse 6]
G
Well, the spirit caught like wildfire
G*** D* G
And she had a crew Between them all
G***
Her flower box window was installed after all
D* G G***
Fanfare from the kitchen Street bazaar in the yard
D* G
“I see you, you see me”
G C C C
Bottles uncorked, wildflowers free
(D)
“Guess he’ll be surprised, won’t he”
[Chorus]
G D C F
Not used to this awakening in you
G D F C
Stashed your dreams up in the cupboard bare
G D C F
Not used to this awakening in you
G D F C
Drink your tea in the same way Same time each day
C*** F***** C*** F*****
You know your names
C*** F***** D G
Yeah, and you know who you are
[Outro]
G G G G
Attica, Attica, Attica, Attica,
G G G
Attica, Attica, Attica.
