Version 1 Version 2
Capo 6th Fret
Dm: 000213
(Listen to song if confused)
[Intro]
(Strum without muting the strings; Strum D7 once and let it ring)
Am
You used to be scared of the water
C
You're safe by the side of your father
G
Your sense of the world lay
D7
In your little home by the harbor
[Verse 1]
(Play D7 without muting; strum Dm once and let it ring)
Am
You've always felt small in the city
C
You think that last fall you were with me
G
And all of your old clothes
D7 Dm
Are still in the hall of my building
[Chorus]
(Don't mute strings when playing D7)
Am
You never asked once
C
No, you never asked why
G
If I was putting things off
D7 Dm
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
C
And accept every sin
G
And if I glued myself shut
D7
You would find your way in
(Short Interlude: Stum Dm down-up four times, then D7 once)
[Verse 2]
Am
We gambled our souls to the summer
C
And rattled our bones to the thunder
G
We watched every sunset
D7 Dm
Until we got sick of each other
Am
You've always said fall was your season
C
That everyone's here for a reason
G
I stare at your packed bags
D7 Dm
And ask what the hell you were meaning
[Chorus]
Am
You never asked once
C
No, you never asked why
G
If I was putting things off
D7 Dm
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
C
And accept every sin
G
And if I glued myself shut
D7 Dm
You would find your way in
[Interlude]
Play normal strumming pattern while humming; Am - C - G - D7 - Dm
(On the second set, strum D7 down-up four times, then Dm down-up four times, then D7 once)
(listen to song)
[Bridge]
(Play each chord once and let it ring; Start strumming without muting on last D7)
Am
It only feels real after raining
C
And hearts only heal after breaking
G
I stare at the tree line
D7
And notice the leaves aren't changing
Am
And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth
C
Constant and cold, how do we live with this?
G
Love was a deadline
D7
I'll spend the rest of my life fucking missing it
(Play Dm down-up four times while increasing volume; strum D7 once)
[Chorus]
(Play last Am once)
Am
You never asked once
C
No, you never asked why
G
If I was putting things off
D7 Dm
If I was drinking too much of that red wine
Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
C
And accept every sin
G
And if I glued myself shut
D7 Dm Am
You would find your way in
