C                                                 G 
I've been hanging out with the rejects in the attic 
C                                       G 
Can't get out of my head the way you left 
C                                                G 
I got a sense of belonging but what does it matter 

Am                           C        G 
And winter's on its way here to collect 

C                                    G 
I was born on the outskirts of a dream 
C                                     G 
My daddy was a miner of almost anything 
    Am 
And I've been busting stones 
    C 
Too proud to go back home 
    Am                           D7 
Admit that all my digging was in vain 

                  C                 G 
But don't we talk different than we did? 
          C               G 
Am I more quiet than I've been? 
               C                     G 
Don't you look brighter than the moon? 
             Am                  G 
Don't I look different without you? 
             Am                  C 
Don't I look different without you? 

I'm taking rain like an Appaloosa hoofprint 
And you know I'm drinking sunlight all day long 
I'm opened up just like a dogwood flower 
And winter's on its way here to collect 

But don't we talk different than we did? 
Am I more quiet than I've been? 
And don't you look brighter than the moon? 
Don't I look different without you? 
Don't I look different without you? 

I was taken on the outskirts of a dream 
I had a been a miner of almost everything 
Well I stopped busting stones 
I'll have to go back home 
Admit that all my digging was in vain 

But don't we talk different than we did? 
Am I more quiet than I've been? 
And don't you look brighter than the moon? 
Don't I look different without you? 
Don't I look different? 

Am                                G 
Winter's on its way here to collect 
(G) 
Don't I look? Don't I look? 
Winter's on its way here to collect 
Don't I look? Don't I look? 
Winter's on its way here to collect 
Don't I look? Don't I look? 
Winter's on its way here to collect 
Don't I look? Don't I look? 
Am                                 G 
Winter's on its way here without you 
Am                                 G 
Winter's on its way here without you
