[Intro]
(Strum without muting the strings; Strum D7 once and let it ring)
You used to be
scared of the
water
You're safe by
the side of y
our father
Your sense of
the world lay
In your little
home by the h
arbor
[Verse 1]
(Play D7 without muting; strum D7sus4 once and let it ring)
You've always
felt small in
the city
You think that
last fall you
were with me
And all of you
r old clothes
Are still in t
he hall of my
building
[Chorus]
(Don't mute strings when playing D7)
You never aske
d once
No, you never
asked why
If I was putti
ng things off
If I was drink
ing too much o
f that red win
e
Oh, you'd wear
yourself thin
And accept eve
ry sin
And if I glued
myself shut
You would find
your way in
(Short Interlude: Strum D7sus4 down-up four times, then D7 once)
[Verse 2]
We gambled our
souls to the
summer
And rattled ou
r bones to the
thunder
We watched eve
ry sunset
Until we got s
ick of each ot
her
You've always
said fall was
your season
That everyone'
s here for a r
eason
I stare at you
r packed bags
And ask what t
he hell you we
re meaning
[Chorus]
You never aske
d once
No, you never
asked why
If I was putti
ng things off
If I was drink
ing too much o
f that red win
e
Oh, you'd wear
yourself thin
And accept eve
ry sin
And if I glued
myself shut
You would find
your way in
[Interlude]
Play normal strumming pattern while humming;
- - -
(On the second
-
set, strum D7
down-up four
times, then D7
sus4 down-up f
our times, the
n D7 once)
[Bridge]
(Play each chord once and let it ring; Start strumming without muting on last D7)
It only feels
real after rai
ning
And hearts onl
y heal after b
reaking
I stare at the
tree line
And notice the
leaves aren't
changing
And does the w
ind blow in Ca
pe Elizabeth
Constant and c
old, how do we
live with thi
s?
Love was a dea
dline
I'll spend the
rest of my li
fe fucking mis
sing it
(Play D7sus4 down-up four times while increasing volume; strum D7 once)
[Chorus]
(Play last Am once)
You never aske
d once
No, you never
asked why
If I was putti
ng things off
If I was drink
ing too much o
f that red win
e
Oh, you'd wear
yourself thin
And accept eve
ry sin
And if I glued
myself shut
You would find
your way in
