[Verse 1]

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

It's autumn in Gothenburg

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

I'm walking home to my suburb

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm

Rain falls hard on the city

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7

On every homeless kitty

[Verse 2]

Bbmaj7

Oh please God bring relief

Even if it's only brief

That she says that we were just make-believe

Bbmaj7 Fmaj7

But I thought she said maple leaves

[Solo 1]

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

[Verse 3]

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

So we talked for hours

And you said you hated your body

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7

That it was just a piece of meat

Fmaj7

I disagreed

[Verse 4]

Bbmaj7

I think you're beautiful

But it's impossible

Bbmaj7

To make you understand

Fmaj7

That if you don't take my hand

Bbmaj7

I'll lose my mind completely

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Gm

Madness will finally defeat me

Bbmaj7

She said it was all make-belief

Fmaj7

But I thought she said maple leaves

Bbmaj7

And when she talked about the fall

Fmaj7

I thought she talked about the season

Bbmaj7

I never understood at all

I thought she said maple leaves

And when she talked about the fall

I thought she talked about Mark E Smith

Bbmaj7 Gm

I never understood at all

Bbmaj7 Gm

I never understood at all

Fmaj7 Bbmaj7 Fmaj7 Bbmaj7
