Glue Myself Shut

	  		   

    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 

                   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 

                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 

               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 

               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 

( Am  C  G  D7  Dm ) 

              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 

( Dm  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             Dm  Am 
You would find your way in
