[Intro 1]
[G][G][G][G][G]

[Verse 1]
Pale [G]September,
[G]I wore the time like a dress tha[E]t yea[Gm]r[G]
The autumn days swung soft [G]around me,
like cotton on my [G]skin
But as the embers of the summer lost
their breath and [F]disappeared[G]
My heart went cold and only hollow
rhythms resounded from [F]within[Gm]
But then he rose,
[C]brilliant as the moon in [Gm]full
And sank in the burrows of [C]my keep
An[F]d all m[Gsus4]y armor falling dow[Dm]n
In [F]a p[Gsus4]ile at my fe[Dm]et
And [F]my [Bb]winter giv[Dm]ing
way to [F]warm[Gsus4]
As [F]I'm [C]singing him to [Dm]sleep[G]
[G][G][G][G]
He goes along just as
a wa[G]ter [E]lily[G]
Gentle on the surface of [G]his thoughts
his body [G]floats
Unweighed [F]down [G]by passion
or [F]intensity[G]
Yet unaware of [F]the depth [G]upon
which [F]he coasts[Gm]
And [C]he finds a home in [Gm]me
For what misfortune sows,
[C]he knows my touch will reap
An[F]d all m[Gsus4]y armor falling dow[Dm]n
In [F]a p[Gsus4]ile at my fe[Dm]et
And [F]my [Bb]winter giving[Dm]
way [Gsus4]to warm
As [F]I'm singing [C]him to [Dm]sleep
[Gm][C][Gm][C]
[F]All [Gsus4]my armor fallin[Dm]g down
In a [F]pile [Gsus4]at my feet[Dm]
And [F]my win[Bb]ter giv
[Dm]ing way to w[Gsus4]arm
As [F]I'm [C]singing [F]him[C] to[Dm] sleep
[F]All [Gsus4]my armor fal[Dm]ling down
In a [F]pile [Gsus4]at my feet[Dm]
And [F]my win[Bb]ter [Dm]giving
way [Gsus4]to warm
As [F]I'm singing [C]him [Dm]to sleep
