Intro:

Am Em F C (x2)



Am          Em
Thank you October
        F                          C
For the truth in your eyes and the beer on your clothes
Am             Em
Your words I remember
            F                         C
Through the cracks in the road as the time starts to slow
Am              Em
It’s hard to describe it
    F                  C
But I’m so aware of my heart in my chest
Am              Em
In all of your weakness
    F                       C
The trees start to fall and I will go too

                F
And when you go grey

And I slip away
                 C
From all of your afterthoughts
              F
Could you see me

A speck in the sea
             C
Lost in your undertow

               F
I want you to know, I want you to know
              D   F   D7  F
I want you



Am          Em
Thank you October
     F                       C
For erasing my youth like a stain on the sink
Am                 Em
I know you’re not sober
             F                     C
Cause you’re warmer than usual and I feel so cold
Am         Em
For I am mistaken
   F                             C
To think that you’d wait for the first morning light
Am              Em
And my greatest downfall
    F                         C
Is thinking that some of this matters at all

                F
And when you go grey
           F6
And I slip away
                 C
From all of your afterthoughts
              F
Could you see me
              F6
A speck in the sea
             C
Lost in your undertow

              Dm                    F
I want you to know, I want you to know
             C
I want you
              D                     F
I want you to know, I want you to know
            C
I want you

       F
And you
               C
You were made out of change
               D                                 G
You have been born and raised to live and die again
     D
But I
                    F
Have painted you in autumn gold
               C                                             G  Ab
And I am just way too young to know how to watch you fall away

(N.C.)
And when you go grey
    F          F6
And I slip away
                C
From all of your afterthoughts
              F
Could you see me
               F6
A speck in the sea
               C
Lost in your undertow

                Dm                   F
I want you to know, I want you to know
             C
I want you
                 D                   F
I want you to know, I want you to know
             C
I want you
