[Verse]
G I slow Emdown, Purple AmAvenues, D
G to march aEmround in AmApril's Bshoes
Am Weather Dvanes reGmind Bm7
of the Amsummetimes that AI've left beEmhind D
G The money's Emgone for Amauld lang Dsyne
G I Emspent on Eastern AmStandard Time B
What ever Amhappened Bto my Emrole?
September Amfell right Bthrough the Emhole
All I've Amgot is eBmpty Empo-ckets Dnow
G Why does EmAugust Amtry so Dhard
G to hoist me Emon my Amown petard? B
Am I've leDarned one tGhing frBm7om losing her (alt: how we were)
That an Amounce of preAvention's worth a Empound of Dcure
G The shadows Emfall, IAm cannot Dthread
G the tenor Emof the Amthings you Bsaid
All that's Amleft is Bflesh and Embone
The lights are Amon but Bno one's Emhome
All I've Amgot is Bempty EmpockeDts D#now
I Cmspill myself anFmother drink Bb
D# I count the Cmwhiskers Fmin the Bbsink
The FmorchesBbtra is D#blind Gm7
But I've D#never been the Cmworrying Fmkind Bb
D# SubsequenCmtly and FmfurtherBbmore
D# I'll sleep right Cmhere on the Fmdraining Bbboard
I'll Fmnever Gbe paCmroled
I like to Fmdrink 'em Gwhile they're Cmcold
All I've Fmgot is Gempty CmpockBbets D#now
