Intro
(Strum without muting the strings; Strum D7 once and let it ring)
You used to be s
cared of the water
You're safe by the
side of your father
Your sense of the
world lay
In your little
home by the harbor
Verse 1
(Play D7 without muting; strum D7sus4 once and let it ring)
You've always felt
small in the city
You think that last
fall you were with me
And all of your
old clothes
Are still in the
hall of my buildi
ng
Chorus
(Don't mute strings when playing D7)
You never asked
once
No, you never asked
why
If I was putting things
off
If I was drinking too
much of that red win
e
Oh, you'd wear yourself
thin
And accept every
sin
And if I glued
myself shut
You would
find your way in
(Short Interlude: Strum D7sus4 down-up four times, then D7 once)
Verse 2
We gambled our
souls to the summer
And rattled our
bones to the thunder
We watched every
sunset
Until we got
sick of each othe
r
You've always said
fall was your season
That everyone's
here for a reason
I stare at your
packed bags
And ask what the
hell you were meani

Interlude
Play normal strumming pattern while humming;
(On t
he s
econ
d set
, strum D7 down-up four times, then D7sus4 down-up four times, then D7 once)
Bridge
(Play each chord once and let it ring; Start strumming without muting on last D7)
It only feels
real after raining
And hearts only
heal after breaking
I stare at the
tree line
And notice the
leaves aren't changing
And does the wind
blow in Cape Elizabeth
Constant and
cold, how do we live with this?
Love was a
deadline
I'll spend the rest of my
life fucking missing it
(Play D7sus4 down-up four times while increasing volume; strum D7 once)
Chorus
(Play last Am once)
You never asked
once
No, you never asked
why
If I was putting things

If I was drinking too
much of that red win
e
Oh, you'd wear yourself
thin
And accept every
sin
