Antebellum

Opening F#m/A G#m/A A B/A C#m/B B E/B F#m/B C#m Individual notes: G# F# E D# C# C# E (Repeat) A In the fall, A dim We circle through the leaves A Maj 7 And talk about the little ones. A A dim And we smile, but never say too much. A Maj 7 The moment always vanishing. A Adim AMaj 7 One by one the neighbors' lights come on. A A dim A Maj 7 Our October day is almost gone. E C#m B E C#m I know the border lines we drew between us B A Keep the weapons down, B A Keep the wounded safe; E C#m E I know our antebellum innocence C#m B A Was never meant to see the light of our armistice day. A In the spring, A dim We climbed the rolling hills A Maj 7 And talked about our budding plans. A And we smiled, A dim Our faces like a mirror A Maj 7 Showing us our secret sides. G# But then the fights... C#m A E F# The sharp words splintering the night, D G# E How I couldn't be what you'd need... D G# E But oh how I could make you bleed... (Repeat chorus chords) I know the border lines we drew between us Keep the weapons down, Keep the wounded safe; I know our antebellum innocence Was never meant to see the light of our armistice. F#m E/G# A B But how much would I give to have it back again? F#m E/G# A How much did we lose B D Maj 7 To live this way? (Counter Melody) E C#m You'll go home...I'll stay here B E C#m B Seasons keep on march ing E C# I'll stay here...you'll go home B E C#m B With only strangers watch ing
