[Intro: 12 measures of Amsus2]

Amsus2                 Amsus2
Solitude stands by the window
Amsus2                  Amsus2
She turns her head as I walk in the room
      Amsus2                     Amsus2
I can see by her eyes she's been waiting
Amsus2          Amsus2
Standing in the slant of the late afternoon
        Am(9)                Am(9)
And she turns to me with her hand extended
    B5/A                 B5/A               Amsus2   Amsus2
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

Am(9)/C   Am(9)/C   B5       B5       Am(9)/C   Am(9)/C     B5     B5
[instrumental; melody is cdeGABcd eGABcdeG ABcdeGAB etc.]
Amsus2    Amsus2    Amsus2   Amsus2
[instrumental]
[ Tab from: https://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/s/suzanne_vega/solitude_standing_crd.html ]
Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]

Amsus2                Amsus2        Amsus2/G      Amsus2/F
  And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
Amsus2                Amsus2          Amsus2/G    Amsus2/F
  And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
C#m7               C#m7              Bsus4     Amsus2
  And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
C#m7            C#m7             Bsus4       Amsus2
  And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"

And I turn to the crowd as they're watching
They're sitting all together in the dark and the warm
And I wanted to be in there among them
I see how their eyes are gathered into one
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame
[12 bars of instrumental again]

And she says, "I've come to set a twisted thing straight"
And she says, "I've come to lighten this dark heart"
And she takes my wrist, I feel her imprint of fear
And I say, "I never thought of finding you here"

Solitude stands in the doorway
I'm struck once again by her black silhouette
By her long cool stare and her silence
I suddenly remember each time we've met
And she turns to me with her hand extended
Her palm is split with a flower with a flame

[Fade out on repeated Am(9)/C & B5]
