NIKI (Nicole Zefanya) – Autumn (Guitar)

C                Dm        Am     F
I carved my name into your ribcage

C                  Dm             Am   F
We talked of lands away from this cage

          C                                            Dm      Am   F
You said, don't fret love, someday I'll be my own man, I'll be free

                        F
Oh, but darling did you mean

                 G              C
Darling, did you mean free from me?

C
You promised home

    Dm             Am     F
The kind I'd never known, oh

             C
But here we are, skin and flesh and beating hearts

        Dm                 Am                  F
and I'm wondering what the hell I'm doing wrong

           C                                               Dm                   Am
You said, "Let's make ourselves our very own brigade, this love our shield, our blade"

                       F                         G
Oh, but darling do you see the cuts from which I bleed?

               C
It's me you've slain

F                         G                                 C
I didn't obliterate these walls for you to come and raid my home

F
And here you are right next to me

G                                C
Ironically, I've never felt more alone

C              Dm            Am        F
I fell for you faster than I fell apart

      C                                             F
And I guess I'm the one to blame for letting myself fall too hard

F                                                            G             C
I ripped my heart out and put it in your hands in hopes that we'd put up a fight

         F                           G                                C
How paradoxical, since now all I can think about is when will we stop trying

C               Am
Oooh, how do we stay afloat

        F     G   C
When do I let go?

        C                                   C/B
All you do is blindside me, it's hard to be brave

             Am                                        Am/G
But when the night cuts into the day, it's your love I crave

  F                                  G
I must've thanked my lucky stars too much,

                                 C
they left me sitting in too much dust

    C                                      C/B
You know all my dreams you were one, so it seemed

       Am                                    Am/G
And I love you but with you it's heartache I breathe

    F                           G                         C
You gave it your all, just with everything you took from me

C
Oh, my love

Am
Is this the end for us?

F     G            C
Maybe we've had enough
