You used to be scared 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
You've always felt small in the city
I think that last fall you were with me
And all of your old clothes
Are still in the hall [Em]of my [A]building
You never asked once
No, you [A7never asked why
If I was [Am7]putting things off
If I was [Am7]drinking too much of that ɾed wine
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glued myself shut
You would find your way in
We gambled our souls to [C7]the summer
We ɾattled our bones to [C7]the thunder
We watched every sunset
Until we got [Fm7]sick of each other
You've always said fall [Em]was [Am7]your season
That everyone's here for [Dm7]a ɾeason
I stare at your packed bags
And ask what the hell you [A7were meaning
You never asked once
No, you [A7never asked why
If I was [Am7]putting things off
If I was [Am7]drinking too much of that ɾed wine
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glued myself shut
You would find your way in
It only feels ɾeal after ɾaining
And hearts only heal after breaking
I stare at the tɾee line
And noticed the leaves aren't changing
And does the wind blow in Cape Elizabeth?
Constant and [Bm]cold, how do you [A7live with this?
Love was [Am7]a deadline
Spend the ɾest of my [A]life fuckin' missing it
You never asked once
No, you [A7never asked why
If I was [Am7]putting things off
If I was [Am7]drinking too much of that ɾed wine
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
And accept every sin
And if I glued myself shut
You would find your way in
