It Was My Season
guitar chords lyrics
Intro:
E B Dbm Abm
B
Tell me a reason
Ebm
To break things off,
F#
Or stop the bleeding,
E
When it's my season.
B
My mind was just revving.
Ebm
Your eyes, they went hard.
F#
Our parents were freaking,
E
But it was our season,
E Ebm Dbm
All that time ago.
B Db Abm
And if you want to stop our "thing" you'll stop my heart.
Eb E
All this pain inside's still just too sharp.
A
What was I thinking?
B
Step out of your trailer
Ebm
And into this dark!
F#
It's warm and it's breathing,
E
And it's our season.
B
Your dad is half sleeping.
Ebm
But, really, he's gone.
F#
Can you hear his VCR weeping?
E
They crossed his wires completely
E Ebm Dbm
When they made him fire that gun.
B Db Abm
I'll say to you: to cut it off's to cut me down...
Eb E
If they take me out of school, you out of town...
B Db Abm
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound.
Eb
I said, "It's crashing down around our heads".
E B Ebm F# E
We're dumb. We're dead. Shut up about it now.
B Ebm F# E (x2)
B Ebm
I won't say I'm sorry, and how would they know?
F# E
Below the Atari I could feel your heart was just going.
B Ebm
We'll meet on the weekend. Your dad won't be home.
F#
Your sister's out cleaning.
E B
You don't need to speak it, because I know,
Ebm F#
Baby, I know. I said I know.
E
You know I know.
B Ebm F# E
That it was our season.
It's hard to believe it.
There isn't a reason.
It's only a feeling...
When I look back on it now, remember how
Mixed up I got before they got me sorted out...
All that heart-in-my-mouth,
All that head filled with doubt,
It's fading out.
I hardly think about it now.
B
They say that I'll go to college
Ebm
And you will stay home
F#
And watch while I'm leaving,
E
And the cold will just creep in.
Ebm Dbm
Oh, Jason, I know.
