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             D7/4
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           
If I was drinking too much of that 
 D7/4
red wine
                        Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
                 C
And accept every sin
               G
And if I glued myself shut
          D7           D7/4
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             D7/4
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            
And ask what the hell you were 
D7/4
meaning

               Am
You never asked once
                    C
No, you never asked why
                        G
If I was putting things off
                      D7           
If I was drinking too much of that 
     D7/4
red wine
                        Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
                 C
And accept every sin
               G
And if I glued myself shut
          D7           D7/4
You would find your way in

( Am  C  G  D7  )
( Am  C  G  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 
   D7/4
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 
           D7/4
fucking missing it

( Dm  D7 )

You never asked once
                    C
No, you never asked why
                        G
If I was putting things off
                      D7           
If I was drinking too much of that 
   D7/4
red wine
                        Am
Oh, you'd wear yourself thin
                 C
And accept every sin
               G
And if I glued myself shut
          D7                 D7/4 
You would find your way in
