          C                       G
In the middle of September we entertained the thought
     Am                            F
of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out
         Fm                            C                                    G
in the garden of a girl who's mum is friends with Elton John, so she kept telling us we just let it pass

               C
and slipped a year or so behind ourselves
     G
the time's already gone,
      Am                              F
when people were just people not the jobs that they perform
     Fm                                   C
our songs were just a thing we did with melody's and chords
              G
now you're available in all good record stores, but

Dm          G              C               C/B             Am                             F          G
i knew you best back when love was just a feeling that ran out between my legs onto the, back of my dress
           C
onto the clothes that i was wearing

 C                          G
when i was a child i was expected to believe
      Am                            F
in something up above that no one touches or can see
              Fm                                 C                              G
but now they tell me that unless you're looking out of magazines well then you don't exist 
 G
but i knew that you were 

 C
real before i  read it
          G                     Am                             F
in an interview today before i used you as a surface - did a line across your face 
         Fm                             C                                     G
in the toilet of A girl who's sitting outside dropping names like they were carpet bombs, she knows everyone

   Dm            G               C        C/B                     Am
but, i knew you first back when love was underneath you with my fingers in the dirt,
                F           G
you said "i'll stop if it hurts"
               Am
you said "i'll stop it if it's scary," 
               F                             G
you said "you know that i can stop this any time, 
                           C      C/B
if you think that it is tearing"

       Am                     F
and i think of you when the leaves are brown,
              C                                G
i think of leaves that i have felt against my body on the ground
             Am                   F                   
i think of places where we could go to now until they
 C                                     G
find us 'til they catch us, 'til they wake us and 
                 F              G
we drown until I   know where i am
           C         C/B              Am                             F            G
i'm in a garden of remembering your fingers in my hand, were like a book made of sand

              C
and its the middle of September. 
       G                           Am                                 F
your image starts to fade into the one that they have printed on the 27th page
 Fm                                        C                       G
don't like to read these things you know i do it anyway i have no choice have no choice i say

          C                       G
and i go out into the garden the birds begin to sing 
        Am                                  F
i am troubled by the thought of all the daylight they will bring 
   Fm                             C                               G
i think that i will let somebody take me home again before the evening ends i will forget with them that i..


 Dm              G
     knew you at all
         C        C/B                    Am
that my love was underneath you making puddles on the floor
             F            G
and that i sleep to the thought of 
      F             G                  C            Am    C/B      C
two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen
  F                   G             C
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun.
         F             G                  C            Am    C/B      C
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen
  F                   G             C
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun.
         F             G                  C            Am     C/B     C
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen
  F                   G             C
