Dental Hygienist chords

Dental Hygienist

• C

      C
under fluorescent lights that flicker and hiss
          Am
there's a dental hygienist with a limp and a lisp
          F                                               G
and she's scraping at the teeth in the mouth of a businessman

        C
but her mind's not in it, it?s somewhere else
        Am                                             F
and her eyes move across to the models of teeth on the shelf
past the charts and the medical gels
       G
to the window and the people outside

       C
on her way home from work, she'll be standing in line
               Am
she'll put the register tape in the bag with the wine
        F
and the tv dinner, it's a lonely winter
      G
and a long walk home from here

         C
he's the manager's assistant at the kinko's downtown
        Am
not the one in the mall
                         F
but the one by the video store
that's where she's seen him before
        G
but she doesn't remember his name

            C
he puts his hands in his pockets when he sees her smile
              Am
she pulls her grocery cart to a stop by the potato chip aisle
F
haven't seen you around in a while
G
guess i've been laying low

   C
he offers a ride and she says ok
           Am
he's got a yellow chevette, she gets in
                  F
he lets the radio play it's a song she heard earlier today
          G
and she's tapping her knees to the rhythm of the wiper blades

C  Am  F  G  C
