πΈ Verse 1:
C G Dm Am
The summmer it was long and the heat kept up for weeks
F C G G
I was nearly all dried up and you got itchy feet
C G Dm Am
I tried to keep us focused and I tried hard to mend
F C G G
And then one night I just let go, you took your chance and fled
Dm Am C G
And I was wishing you had stayed 'cause the heat was bound to end
F C G F F
When the cooling winds of autumn blow out here again
πΈ Instrumental:
Am C G F x2
πΈ Verse 2:
C G Dm Am
The photos of yourself you left them on the shelf
F C G G
I know you didn't want them they're for me to think about
C G Dm Am
Could there be something else you might have left behind?
F C G G
Something you might be needing at some time?
Dm Am C G
For I wish I could've held you a little longer than I did
F C G F F
'Til the cooling winds of autumn had blown out here again
πΈ Bridge:
G F C
Well I see you in my dreams and you're doggin' all my days
Am G F C
With that look of sorrow on your face I couldn't take away
G F C
Well did someone hurt you when you were just a child?
Am G F C
Well I swear if I ever found who did, they'd pay for their crime
Dm Am C G
There might have been a way to take our pain away
F C G F F
But the cooling winds of autumn didn't blow here on that day
πΈ Instrumental:
Am C G F x4
πΈ Verse 3:
C G Dm Am
The weeks pass by so slowly and the months turn into years
F C G G
It'll still be from you that I long to hear
C G Dm Am
When I think of how Versed I still can't work out why
F C G G
We loved each other hard enough you'd think we'd be alright
Dm Am C G
Well have you found a place where quiet waters dwell?
F C G F F
And do the cooling winds of autumn blow out there as well?
