Autumn Me

Intro: C - C/B - Dm - F     x2


Verse1:
        C         G
We were 17 and on our own
        Dm                        
When we hit the gas for the great 
F
unknown
      C                        G
I was named for a boy, she was named
 for the fall
    Dm                      
And nothing much else really 
 F
mattered at all


Prechorus:
  Dm
I knew what happened on her kitchen 
floor
        F
And she knew what it meant when I 
wrote on the door
Dm
Secrets spilled into that dark
    G
And everyone was a piece of my heart


Chorus:
       C
It’s a lullaby
       G
It’s a beautiful life
       Em                     F
And it sings me to sleep most every 
night
     C
So I hold it close
      G
And I hide it away
Em                        F
That’s how I keep it from going 
astray
Dm                           
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a 
            F
reason to be
                              C - C 
- C/B-F  x2   (listen for timing for
 change btw C/B to F)
This is the story of Autumn and me.


Verse2:
Continúa después del anuncio
   C                 G
We grew up fast in a few short years
       Dm                         
And we littered the path with the 
F
tracks of our tears
       C                      
But we carved our names in the 
 G
proverbial wall
    Dm                       F
And nothing much else really matters
 at all


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


Chorus:
       C
It’s a lullaby
       G
It’s a beautiful life
       Em                     F
And it sings me to sleep most every 
night
     C
So I hold it close
      G
And I hide it away
Em                        F
That’s how I keep it from going 
astray
Dm                           
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a 
            F
reason to be
                                   C
 - Gm - C - Gm  x2
This is the story of Autumn and me.


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


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

       C
It’s a lullaby
       G
It’s a beautiful life
       Em                     F
And it sings me to sleep most every 
night
     C
So I hold it close
      G
And I hide it away
Em                        F
That’s how I keep it from going 
astray
Dm                           
Love doesn’t need a rhyme or a 
            F
reason to be
