[Verse]
D
Telephone wire
    A
Run and run
D
Telephone wire
    A
Sundown on the creek
E
Partly frozen, partly flowing
E
Must be windy, trees are bending
E
Junction 50 field needs mowing
E
Feels like the car is floating


[Chorus]
D
Say something!
 A Asus2 A
Talk to him!
D
Say something!
A Asus2 A
Anything!
D                                                A
At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light
D
At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light
   Dsus2
Like, you could say
     F#m
"So, how does it feel to know that you and I are both—"

[dialogue]
N.C.
"Hey"
N.C.
"Yeah?"
N.C.
"Where do you want to go?"
N.C.
"Oh, I don't know"


[Bridge]
 G                                  C
"I know a bar that's kind of hidden away
                 G                B
A seedy club for folks like… you know
 C
Could be fun"
     G                   B
"But Dad, I'm not twenty-one"
             A
"Yeah, right"

[Verse]
 D
Telephone wire
     A
Long black line
 D
Telephone wire
   A
Finely threaded sky
 E7
There's the pond where I went wading
 E7
There's a sign for Sugar Valley
 E7
On the mountain, light is fading
 E7
I go back to school tomorrow!

[Chorus]
 D
Say something!
 A Asus2 A
Talk to him!
 D
Say something!
A Asus2 A
Anything!
D                                                 A
At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light
D
At the light, at the light, at the light, at the light
            Dsus2
Doesn't matter what you say
 F#m
Just make the fear in his eyes go away

[Bridge]
             G
"There was a boy in college
               C
My first year there
 C
Norris Jones
       G                B
He had black, wavy hair
 C
Norris Jones
  G         B7
Where is he now?
               G
Fourteen years old
             C
In Swanson's barn
 C
It was cold
G
Lots of boys messed around, you know
                   B             C
For them, it was a game they outgrew
    B7        C
But I always knew"
 C
"Dad, me too!
 G
Since, like, five, I guess
    G
I preferred to wear boys' shirts and pants
          C
I felt absurd in a dress
                    Am
I really tried to deny my feelings for girls
                    G
But I was like you, Dad me too"

N.C.
"Norris Jones…"
N.C.
"Dad?"
N.C.
"Norris Jones…"
N.C.
"Dad?"
N.C.
"Hey, did I mention that new project I've taken on? You've seen it, Al, that old house out on Route 150?
It's been standing empty forty, fifty years at least…"

  A
Stop! Too fast!
 D
Telephone wire
     A
Make this not the past
          D
This car ride
  F
This is where it has to happen!
 F
There must be some other chances
 F
There's a moment I'm forgetting
 F
Where you tell me you see me

[Chorus]
 Eb
Say something!
     Bb
Talk to me!
 Eb
Say something!
Bb
Anything!
Eb          Bb
At the light
Eb          Bb
At the light
  F
This can't be our last—

 N.C.                                                               A
"Well, that was fun. It's earlier than I thought. Are you coming in?"
 D             A
Telephone wire
D                  A
That was our last night
