Verse 1:
C majorC
Well, the first of September
FF C majorC G+G
Brought in the best that I'd had
C majorC
It wasn’t me that you wanted
FF C majorC G+G
You were fixed on a thought and so sad
C majorC
But tears don't dry up in the rain
Dm7Dm7 C majorC
They fall from your cheeks
C majorC G+G
And they run down your frame
C majorC
Well, the first of September
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
Showed me how cruel I could be
C majorC
I spent that whole week
C majorC FF C majorC G+G
Getting mad at the man you believed
C majorC
And you didn't tell me that smile
C majorC
Was loaded with worries
C majorC C majorC
And bent with denial
C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7
And we sang
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
Let’s use one another
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
But I can't remember that night
C majorC G+G
I just draw a blank when I try and I do
C majorC G+G
I love picking flowers and dancing with moons
A minorAm G+G C majorC
But I hate what I did to you
Chorus:
FF C majorC
But you can't say it meant nothing at all
C majorC DmDm FF
'Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low
FF C majorC
Made a wilderness call
C majorC G+G
But it's not your fault
G+G FF
It's not your fault
Verse 2:
C majorC
I'm good to my mother
C majorC Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
She'll tell you I know how to be
C majorC
I used to be young
FF C majorC G+G
And I sang about the shit I believed
C majorC
And I try my best not to lie
FF C majorC
I help when I can
C majorC G+G
And I know wrong from right
C majorC
I’m good to my mother
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
My friends can attest to my life
C majorC
But I took advantage
FF C majorC G+G
And promised you things that I fight
FF C majorC
I’m not who I was at the time
C majorC
I hate what I've done
C majorC G+G
I don’t sleep well at night
Fmaj7Fmaj7
And we sang
G+G E minorEm C majorC
Let's use one another
Pre-Chorus:
C majorC
But I can't remember that night
C majorC G+G
I just draw a blank when I try and I do

I love picking flowers and dancing with moons
A minorAm G+G C majorC
But I hate what I did to you
Chorus:
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
But you can't say it meant nothing at all
C majorC DmDm FF
'Cause I saw the lights when all the lights were turned low
FF C majorC
Made a wilderness call
C majorC G+G
But it's not your fault
G+G Fmaj7Fmaj7
It's not your fault
Verse:
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC
Oh, 'cause we sang, let's use one another
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC G+G
We sang and tried to believe everything
G+G A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
'Cause you knew that I wanted to hear
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
And I knew what you wanted to hear
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Yeah you knew what I wanted to hear
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Yeah you knew what I wanted to hear
C majorC A minorAm E minorEm C majorC
Now I knew what I wanted to hear
Outro:
C majorC
But I can't remember that night
C majorC G+G
I just draw a blank when I try and I do
Fmaj7Fmaj7 C majorC A minorAm G+G
I love picking flowers and dancing with moons
A minorAm G+G C majorC
But I hate what I did to you
C majorC G+G
So now I get wasted and yell at the moon
A minorAm E minorEm G+G C majorC
‘cause I hate what I did to you
