Biography:
Jason Robert Brown is an American musical theatre composer and lyricist from Ossining, New York. His career began with the unorthodox Songs for a New World, whose original off-Broadway production ran for 28 performances at the WPA Theater in New York City in 1995. The show sits on the boundary between musical and song cycle: it is a series of largely disjoint songs with (unlike a musical) no plot or characters that continue from song to song, but the songs and production themselves are highly theatrical and character-driven.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This was done by ear, so it could be wrong.
The general strumming pattern of this song goes "1 and - and 3 and - and 1 and - and 3 and - and."
On the "1," you play the low E string and strum the rest of the chord on the "and - and."
On the "3,' you play the A string and strum the rest of the chord on the "and - and."
Sorry if this is a bad explanation. Listen to the song if it didn't make sense.
I just looked at a sample page of sheet music, and it said to use C2/E. I prefer C7/E, but you can do
what you want.
I'm a little iffy about the bridge. Not sure how accurate I am there because it gets difficult to hear the
instruments over Steven Pasquale's [amazing] voice.

Intro Em9 C7/E Em9 C7/E
Em9
A little twinge,
A little shock,
C7/E
A little whisper at the bottom of your memory.
Em9
A sudden wind,
A gentle knock,
C7/E
And then a rustle in the leaves.
Em9
You hold your breath,
You check the lock,
C7/E
You reassure yourself there's nothing at the window.
G
But you’re wondering.
Cadd9
You’re wondering.
G Cadd9
You’re wondering what that was.
Am7
Nothing’s gonna happen.
Cadd9
Nothing’s gonna happen.
Em9
You turn a key,
You flip a switch,
C7/E
You settle back into the blissful unfamiliar.
Em9
You close your eyes,
But there’s an itch,
C7/E
A little hurt your heart retrieves.
Em9
But you ignore
The tiny twitch,
C7/E
Pretend the feeling will be gone before the morning.
G
But you’re wondering.
Cadd9
You’re wondering.
G Cadd9
You’re wondering where you are.
Am7
Nothing’s gonna happen.
Cadd9
Nothing’s gonna happen.
A7
But wouldn’t it be fine to share
G
The weather in her eyes, her hair,
Cadd9
Her footsteps as she climbs the stair,
C7/E
The shadow in her light?
A7
But everything you know is true
G
And everything you want to do
Cadd9
And everything that makes you you
Em9
Collides against the night.
C7/E Em9 Cadd9
And nothing’s black and white.
G
And you’re wondering.
Cadd9
You’re wondering.
G Cadd9
You’re wondering what to do.
G
You’re wondering.
Cadd9
You’re wondering.
G Cadd9
You’re wondering if it’s true.
Am7
Nothing’s gonna happen.
Cadd9
Nothing has to happen.
