[F#dim][G]

[Verse 1]
My slow down purple [Am]avenues
To [G]march around in [E]April [Fm]shoes[Bb]
[D]Whe[Am]re the[F#dim] vein s remin[D]d
[G]Of [Bm]the s[Em]ummer time[Baug]s that I've
[Am]left behind[C][C#dim][C#][D]
[G]Money's gone for [C]auld lang syn[D]e
[G]I spend on e[C]astern s[E]tand
ard [Fm]time
[Bb]Whatever [Am]happened to [Bm]my roll
[C]September fel[Am]l right thr[C]ough the hole
All I've [Am]got is empty [Eb]pocket[Am]s now[D]
[G]And why does Au[Em]gust try [Am]so h[D]ard
[G]To waste me [Em]on my ow[C]n peta[E]rd
[Am]I've learned one [D]thing
from [G]how we [Bm]were
That [Em]an ounce of prevention's
worth [Am]a pound of cur[Eb]e[D]
[G]The sha[Em]dows fal[C]l, but I cannot[Am] thr[D]ead
[G]The ten[Em]ors of the[E] things you said
All [Am]that's left [Bm]is flesh a[C]n d bone
Light[Am]s are on an[Bm]d no one's [C]home
[Em]All [Am]I've got is [B]empty [Eb]pockets
[D]Now[Db],
I [Bbm]spill myself an[Ebm]other [Ab]drink
[Db]I count the wh[Bbm]iskers
[Bbaug]in the sink[Gb][Bbm]
[Ebm]The orchestra is[Ab] bli[Db]nd
[Fm]But I've never[Bbm] been a wear[Eb]ying
[Ebm]kind[Absus4][Db]
[Bbm]Subsequently and [Ebsus4]fur
[Ebm]ther m[Absus4]ore
[Abm]I'll s[Db]leep right here[Bbm]
[Bbaug]on the draining board
[Bb]I'll nev[Ebm]er be [Fm]paro[Gb]led,
I like to [Ebm]drink them [Fm]while they're [Gb]cold
And all I've [Ebm]got is em[Fm]pty bu[Gb]ckets now
