Chords Used:
Tips:
*When picking the Fadd9, I just use my thumb on the 6th string and my index, middle &
pinky fingers for the
other 3 notes.
*This also sounds pretty good when strummed - or alternating between picking (intro
pattern) and strumming.
*If strumming the verse you can get away with just a regular F (133211)
*Obviously the chords are relative to the capo (the album recording is in G)
Capo II
Intro:
"It's a cold day for September", was all I thought to say
dd9
When I saw you on the street the other day.
I knew something changed between us, all the talk we made was small
But what do you say to someone when they've heard you say it all?
It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way
F C G N.C
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
REPEAT INTRO
It seemed like only days ago we had so much to say
Did we take it all for granted, did it all get thrown away?
"It calls for rain this afternoon", you finally replied
ad
And there was such a stuttering silence that I felt my mouth go dry
So we'll just talk about the weather 'cause there's not much more to say
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
F C G N.C
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
REPEAT INTRO
Has all the ice been broken? All our surfaces been scratched
Have all the words been spoken? Have we finally met our match?
'cause It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
F C G N.C
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?
REPEAT INTRO x 2
