G C
I was born in September
Em G
and like everything else, I can't remember
C Em C
I replace it with scenes from a film that I will never make
G C
When I blinked it was over
Em G
I was thinking my life will get slower
C Em
That I will sort this sh*t out when I'm sober
C
It's even better now that you're older
G C
I read the scares on the front page
Em G
It says we're waiting around for an ice age
C Em
It says our comforts they come with a price tag
C G
They killed the cancer but discovered a new plague
* no guitar (if you play alone, sounds better with guitar or any ideas?)
G C
*They said just think of the children
Em G
*and imagine the world that we've willed them
C Em
*It's populated with weirdos to kill them
*and break their hearts
C G
And everybody knows
C
This is the end
Em G
It's now a fashionable, oh oh
C Em C
dinner party conversation

When you're young you're hot

You have your whole life before you

Everyone will adore

and you're pacing around in place

Never went to church
thought a song was gonna save me
so I wrote a hymn on the guitar that you gave me
Singing what you spoke I built a fire with the smoke
You know that hope is just a small thing
(picked) (In original there's same melody as before continuing on other chords,
but I just play alternating bass-string and rest-strings like he plays in some live versions)

G
I just called to tell you
C
I just called to say
Em G
Learned all your mistakes
C F#m7
You were my inspiration
G
And it wasn't all we hoped for
C
But we shake it off and we say
Em G
Here's your yellow ribbon
C F#m7
I am your consolation

I was born in September
C
and if I die today
Em G
just know I don't regret you

It's a slow descent
C
It's a lifeless place
F#m7 C
Every god damned day
G
and I know you know
C Em G
no matter where you go
C F#m7
that I will follow, that I will follow
Em
You are my only hope
C F#m7 C
It's not much, but it's all that I know

Em G
* Learned all your mistakes
C F#m7
* Passed down through generations
