Verse 1:
EbmEbm
You used to be scared of the water
GbGb
You're safe by the side of your father
DbDb
Your sense of the world lay
AbAb
In your little home by the harbour
EbmEbm
You've always felt small in the city
GbGb
I think that last fall you were with me
DbDb
And all of your old clothes
AbAb
Are still in the hall of my building
Chorus:
EbmEbm
You never asked once
GbGb
No, you never asked why
DbDb
If I was putting things off
AbAb
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
EbmEbm
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
GbGb
And accept every sin
DbDb
And if I glued myself shut
AbAb
You'd find your way in
Verse 2:
EbmEbm
We gambled our souls to the summer
GbGb
We rattled our bones to the thunder
DbDb
We watched every sunset
AbAb
Until we got sick of each other
EbmEbm
You've always said fall was your season
GbGb
That everyone's here for a reason
DbDb
I stare at your packed bags
AbAb
And ask what the hell you were meaning
Chorus:
EbmEbm
You never asked once
GbGb
No, you never asked why
DbDb
If I was putting things off
AbAb
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
EbmEbm
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
GbGb
And accept every sin
DbDb
And if I glued myself shut
AbAb
You'd find your way in
Post-Chorus: x2
EbmEbm GbGb
Mmm, mmm
DbDb AbAb
Mmm, mmm
Bridge:
EbmEbm
It only feels real after raining
GbGb
And hearts only heal after breaking
DbDb
I stare at the tree line
AbAb
I noticed the leaves aren't changing
EbmEbm
And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth?
GbGb
Constant and cold, how do you live with this?
DbDb
Love was a deadline
AbAb
Spend the rest of my life fucking missing it
DbDb AbAb
Mmm
Chorus:
EbmEbm
You never asked once
GbGb
No, you never asked why
DbDb
If I was putting things off
AbAb
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
EbmEbm
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
GbGb
And accept every sin
DbDb
And if I glued myself shut
AbAb
You'd find your way in
EbmEbm
