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


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


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


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

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