C                           
In the middle of September we 
  G
entertained the thought
Am                              F
of falling into rabbit holes and 
never coming out
F*                                
in the garden of a girl who's mum 
     C
is friends with Elton John, so she 
kept
G
telling us

but still
            C
we slipped a year or so behind 
ourselves
    G
the time's already gone,
     Am                            
when people were just people not 
 F
the jobs that they perform
    F*                             
our songs were just a thing we did 
    C
with melody's and chords
         G
now you're available in all good 
record stores.

but

   G                       C      
i knew you best back when love was
        C/B                 Am
 just a feeling that ran out between
 my
             F              G
legs onto the, back of my dress
           C
onto the clothes that i was wearing

   C                        G
oh when i was a child i was expected
 to believe
  Am                              
in something up above that no one 
F
touches or can see
F*                             
but now they tell me that unless 
                  C
you're looking out of magazines well
 then

     G                             
you don't exist but i knew that 
         C
that you were real before i read it
          G                    Am 
in an interview today before i 
                             F
used you as a surface - did a line 
across your face
       F*                    
in the toilet of a girl who's 
            C
sitting outside dropping names like 
they were
G
carpet bombs, she knows everyone
Dm    G                         
but, i knew you first back when 
C             C/B               
love was underneath you with my 
Am
fingers in the dirt,
             F               G
you said "i'll stop if it hurts"
            Am
you said "i'll stop it if it's 
scary,"
       F                           
you said "you know that i can stop 
    G
this any time,
                      C
if you think that it is tearing"
   Am                          F
and i think of you when the leaves 
are brown,
        C                          
i think of leaves that i have felt 
           G
against my body on the ground
        Am                         
i think of places where we could go
 F
 to now until they find us 'til they
 catch
                   G
 us, 'til they wake us and
                 F       G
we drown until I know where i am
         C     C/B       Am      
i'm in a garden of remembering 
                                  F
your fingers in my hand, were like a
 book made
     G     C
of sand
      C
and its the middle of September.
      G                            
your image starts to fade into the 
                               F
one that they have printed on the 
27th page
 F*                                
don't like to read these things you
        C                     
 know i do it anyway i have no 
  G
choice
have no choice i say
         C                      
and i go out into the garden the 
  G                        Am
birds begin to sing i am troubled by
 the
                   F
thought of all the daylight they 
will bring
  F*                            
i think that i will let somebody 
 C                 G
take me home again
     Dm
Cause if i..
            G
knew you at all
         C            C/B     
that my love was underneath you 
         Am
making puddles on the floor
         C                G
and that i sleep to the thought of
      C          C/B              
Some garden in september where 
  Am
I've never been before
          C      G
It's slipping, out of the door
    F              G              
two people walking two steps 
   C              Am   C/B     C 
forward always to the lives 
 C/B
they've chosen
 F                G               
clicks and hums and sirens and the 
C
sun
     F                G       
of two people walking two steps 
          C              Am   C/B
forward always to the lives 
    C C/B
they've chosen,
 F                  G             
clicks and hums and sirens and the 
C
sun
 F                    G       
of two people walking two steps 
           C              E
forward always to the lives we've 
chosen
 F                   G            
clicks and hums and silence and the 
C
sun
