Em G Cmaj7
Cmaj7 B7

Em
across
G Cmaj7 B7
I got a temper set for tender
Em G
And you were shrugging it off like a feather
Cmaj7 B7
Saying "oh...
Em G Cmaj7
Would you look at this weather"
Cmaj7 B7 Em
What's the use of all of this?

Is to remember you in the entire

As i'm watching it slip away

Does it always look so gray

Before the faaaallllll?
