Autumn Me

[C] [G] [F] [G]

We were 1[C]7 and o[G]n our own
When we h[F]it the gas for the gr[G]eat unknown
I was na[C]med for a boy, she was na[G]med for the fall
And not[F]hing much else really mat[G]tered at all

I k[Am]new what happened on her kitchen floor
And she kn[F]ew what it meant when I wrote on the door
Se[Am]crets spilled into that dark
And eve[F]ryone was a piece of my heart

It’s a lu[C]llaby
It’s a b[G]eautiful life
And it si[F]ngs me to sleep most ev[G]ery night
So I h[C]old it close
And I h[G]ide it away
T[F]hat’s how I keep it from go[G]ing astray
L[Am]ove doesn’t need a rhyme or a reason to [F]be
                                   [C] [G] [F] [G] x2
This is the story of Autumn and me.

*Use the same progressions throughout the song....

We grew up fast in a few short years
And we littered the path with the tracks of our tears
But we carved our names in the proverbial wall
And nothing much else really matters at all

We earned every line in our 25 years
We cried over boys and we laughed over beers
I wouldn’t trade the girl for a song
She lets me know right where I belong

Rooftop dancing in the summer heat
New car crash on a one way street
Strangers moving up to the fourth floor
Strange, now nobody knows me more

palm mute the chords):
It’s a lullaby
It’s a beautiful life
And it sings me to sleep most every night
So I hold it close
And I hide it away
That’s how I keep it from going astray

Repeat full chorus

[C] [G] [F] [G]

I was na[C]med for a boy, she was na[G]med for the fall
And not[F]hing much else really mat[G]tered at all     [C]

And you're done! Pretty simple song but fun to sing. No guarantee on the accuracy but
it sounds close to me. The rhythm is weird so good luck to you if you want to play it
exactly the way they do b/c I haven't figured it out yet. Have fun!
