Biography:
What's a writer to do when wounds heal, grief passes, and navel gazing gets old? The Reverie, Beth Amsel's current independent release, is a step forward into such decidedly un-maudlin musical territory.

Produced and engineered by Dave Chalfant (Erin McKeown

Beth Amsel - How It Comes To This
CAPO: 1st Fret
[Verse 1]
G
Come quick the fire's dead
D
It's an ashen pale from a coal hot red
Em
And this is how it goes out you said
C D
Hmmm
[Verse 2]
G
I shut my eyes and squeeze them tight
D
Pace myself with a fond goodnight
Em
And hope against hope that I'll be alright
C D
Hmmm
[Chorus]
Em D G
And, oh, how it comes to this
Em D G c
A sorry ending from that first promising kiss
Em D G C
You don't always receive the equal measure of what you spend
D G C G
I am homeward bound again
[Verse 3]
G
Ride out of town on a narrow gauge rail
D
You send me letters through the U.S. mail
Em
With flowered stamps you leave a post mark trail
C D
Hey
[Verse 4]
G
And every passage hurts like hell
D
Try to prove ourselves worthy through the stories we tell
Em
And convince each other that it's just as well
C D
Hey
[Chorus]
Em D G
And, oh, how it comes to this

[Verse 5]
G
I catch your voice across the telephone
D
You just couldn't leave well enough alone
Em
You add insult to injury and then a dial tone
C D
Hey
[Verse 6]
G
I guess I could be spitting mad
D
I could tear through the house burning what we had
Em
But I won't feel better, no I won't feel that
C D
Hey
[Chorus]
Em D G
And, oh, how it comes to this
