Chords with lyrics

Intro:
E MajorE BB DbmDbm   AbmAbm

BB
Tell me a reason
  EbmEbm
To break things off,
  F#F#
Or stop the bleeding,
  E MajorE
When it's my season.

 BB
My mind was just revving.
 EbmEbm
Your eyes, they went hard.
 F#F#
Our parents were freaking,
  E MajorE
But it was our season,
E MajorE  EbmEbm    DbmDbm
All that time ago.

BB         DbDb           AbmAbm
And if you want to stop our "thing" you'll stop my heart.
Eb MajorEb              E MajorE
All this pain inside's still just too sharp.

A augmentedA
What was I thinking?
BB
Step out of your trailer
EbmEbm
And into this dark!
F#F#
It's warm and it's breathing,
E MajorE
And it's our season.

BB
Your dad is half sleeping.
EbmEbm
But, really, he's gone.
F#F#
Can you hear his VCR weeping?
E MajorE
They crossed his wires completely
E MajorE        EbmEbm    DbmDbm
When they made him fire that gun.
BB             DbDb        AbmAbm
I'll say to you: to cut it off's to cut me down...
 Eb MajorEb              E MajorE
If they take me out of school, you out of town...
BB          DbDb         AbmAbm
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound.
 Eb MajorEb
I said, "It's crashing down around our heads".
E MajorE                      BB  EbmEbm    F#F#  E MajorE
We're dumb. We're dead. Shut up about it now.

BB  EbmEbm    F#F#  E MajorE (x2)

BB             EbmEbm
I won't say I'm sorry, and how would they know?
F#F#                 E MajorE
Below the Atari I could feel your heart was just going.
BB              EbmEbm
We'll meet on the weekend. Your dad won't be home.
F#F#
Your sister's out cleaning.
E MajorE                   BB
You don't need to speak it, because I know,
    EbmEbm      F#F#
Baby, I know. I said I know.
      E MajorE
You know I know.

BB  EbmEbm F#F# E MajorE

That it was our season.
It's hard to believe it.
There isn't a reason.
It's only a feeling...
When I look back on it now, remember how
Mixed up I got before they got me sorted out...
All that heart-in-my-mouth,
All that head filled with doubt,
It's fading out.
I hardly think about it now.

        BB
They say that I'll go to college
    EbmEbm
And you will stay home
F#F#
And watch while I'm leaving,
E MajorE
And the cold will just creep in.
  EbmEbm  DbmDbm
Oh, Jason, I know.
