Note: Chord definitions at bottom
Intro: (Optional, sometimes she just starts with C)
F G C Am C/B C C/B
F G C
C G
In the middle of September we entertained the thought
Am F
of falling into rabbit holes and never coming out
F* C
in the garden of a girl who's mum is friends with Elton John, so she kept
G
telling us
but still
C
we slipped a year or so behind ourselves
G
the time's already gone,
Am F
when people were just people not the jobs that they perform
F* C
our songs were just a thing we did with melody's and chords
G
now you're available in all good record stores.
Dm
but
G C C/B Am
i knew you best back when love was just a feeling that ran out between my
F G
legs onto the, back of my dress
C
onto the clothes that i was wearing
C G
oh when i was a child i was expected to believe
Am F
in something up above that no one touches or can see
F* C
but now they tell me that unless you're looking out of magazines well then
G C
you don't exist but i knew that that you were real before i read it
G Am F
in an interview today before i used you as a surface - did a line across your face
F* C
in the toilet of a girl who's sitting outside dropping names like they were
G
carpet bombs, she knows everyone
Dm G C C/B Am
but, i knew you first back when love was underneath you with my fingers in the dirt,
F G
you said "i'll stop if it hurts"
Am
you said "i'll stop it if it's scary,"
F G
you said "you know that i can stop this any time,
C
if you think that it is tearing"
Am F
and i think of you when the leaves are brown,
C G
i think of leaves that i have felt against my body on the ground
Am F
i think of places where we could go to now until they find us 'til they catch
G
us, 'til they wake us and
F G
we drown until I know where i am
C C/B Am F
i'm in a garden of remembering your fingers in my hand, were like a book made
G C
of sand
C
and its the middle of September.
G F
your image starts to fade into the one that they have printed on the 27th page
F* C G
don't like to read these things you know i do it anyway i have no choice
have no choice i say
C G Am
and i go out into the garden the birds begin to sing i am troubled by the
F
thought of all the daylight they will bring
F* C G
i think that i will let somebody take me home again
Dm
Cause if i..
G
knew you at all
C C/B Am
that my love was underneath you making puddles on the floor
C G
and that i sleep to the thought of
C C/B Am
Some garden in september where I've never been before
C G
It's slipping, out of the door
F G C Am C/B C C/B
two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen
F G C
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun
F G C Am C/B C C/B
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives they've chosen,
F G C
clicks and hums and sirens and the sun
F G C E
of two people walking two steps forward always to the lives we've chosen
F G C
clicks and hums and silence and the sun
