Stalemate

Intro: Em G Am G  


[Verso 1]

Em                        G 
This is how it looks our game 
                Am 
Do you believe it? 
            G 
Just two pieces 
Em                           G 
The board offers no place to hide 
                   Am 
My recursive movements 
                    G 
Your repeated evasions 

Em                     G 
No checkmate shall be claimed 
                 Am 
We fear we could be 
                G 
Finally be together 
Em                    G 
No checkmate shall be claimed 
                 Am 
We fear it will end 
                    G 
in the end it will end 


[Refrão]

Bm                     D 
Is there a movement left? 
        A 
Only you and me 
E 
Facing us 
Bm                   D 
Fearing to move a piece 
A 
Stalemate 
E 
We won’t stand another hurt 

Bm                    D 
Is there any other play? 
Fearing 
A                    E 
To resume our game again 
Bm                 D 
Facing, beholding us 
Stalemate 
A                           E 
You will kick the board again 

Solo: Em      G      Am     G 


[Verso 2]

Em                      G 
The pieces in stalemate 
Am                      G 
No checkmate shall be claimed 


[Ponte]

D                    A 
No motion after centuries 
Bm                        E 
Trapped, alienated and numbed 
D                      A 
No relief at the mercy of 
Bm                        E 
the fears your demons bring 


[Verso 3]

Em      G      Am     G 

Em                      G 
White moves in stalemate 
Am 
Black escapes 
G 
Never ending story

A                       E 
To resume our game again

Facing, beholding us 
Stalemate 
A                               E 
Will you will kick the board again?
