A
In the fall,
A dim
We circle through the leaves
A Maj 7
And talk about the little ones.
A A dim
And we smile, but never say too much.
A Maj 7
The moment always vanishing.
A Adim AMaj 7
One by one the neighbors' lights come on.
A A dim A Maj 7
Our October day is almost gone.
(Chorus)
E C#m B E C#m
I know the border lines we drew between us
B A
Keep the weapons down,
B A
Keep the wounded safe;
E C#m E
I know our antebellum innocence
C#m B A
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice day.
A
In the spring,
A dim
We climbed the rolling hills
A Maj 7
And talked about our budding plans.
A
And we smiled,
A dim
Our faces like a mirror
A Maj 7
Showing us our secret sides.
G#
But then the fights...
C#m A E F#
The sharp words splintering the night,
D G# E
How I couldn't be what you'd need...
D G# E
But oh how I could make you bleed...
(Repeat chorus chords)
I know the border lines we drew between us
Keep the weapons down,
Keep the wounded safe;
I know our antebellum innocence
Was never meant to see the light of our armistice.
(Bridge)
F#m E/G# A B
But how much would I give to have it back again?
F#m E/G# A
How much did we lose
B D Maj 7
To live this way?
(Counter Melody)
E C#m
You'll go home...I'll stay here
B E C#m B
Seasons keep on march-ing
E C#
I'll stay here...you'll go home
B E C#m B
With only strangers watch-ing
(Counter melody continues, but chords are replaced with chorus chords.)
Ending chords are just a bunch of A chords, ends on an E.
