Intro:
BB F#F# E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m
BB F#F# E MajorE F#F# G# minorG#m F#F#


Verse 1:
E MajorE            F#F#
 So where did August go?
G# minorG#m             F#F#   E MajorE
  The leaves are shriveled up and dead
   E MajorE      F#F#
What started yellow
G# minorG#m       BB
  Has turned to gray I turned you red


Verse 2:
E MajorE           F#F#
 I was suffocating so
G# minorG#m          F#F#   E MajorE
  I took a breath and let you go
              F#F# G# minorG#m
You left me leaning I spent the evening
     BB
Pounding sand with pounding head


Refrain 1:
E MajorE         F#F#            G# minorG#m
 I woke up to the rain and it won't be the same
          BB         F#F#
And it won't be the same here without you
E MajorE           F#F#            G# minorG#m
 So goodbye and good luck know it won't be the same
          BB      F#F#
And it won't be the same and it won't be the same

Chorus 1:
BB                 F#F#
 I was kinda drunk that night you know
               E MajorE
And now I'm outside kicking stones
      E MajorE
And getting drunk on grief down and incomplete
    F#F#   G# minorG#m  BB
Walking Carson Street alone
               F#F#
The summer heat it grabbed me by
              E MajorE
The neck and hung me out to dry
     E MajorE
Dropping into cold twist my fists in folds
   F#F#   G# minorG#m  BB
Of my winter clothes

Bridge:
E MajorE      F#F#
 I'm going home
   C# minorC#m
To an empty room
   G# minorG#m       E MajorE
To a cave on Orchard Road
 E MajorE      F#F#
Absurd fucking world
     C# minorC#m
Feel like dropping dead
   G# minorG#m
But I laugh instead
   E MajorE
Dumb guy smart girl
