Intro: E B Dbm Abm
B
Tell me a reason

   Ebm
To break things off,

   F#
Or stop the bleeding,

    E
When it's my season.

  B
My mind was just revving.

  Ebm
Your eyes, they went hard.

  F#
Our parents were freaking,

   E
But it was our season,

E   Ebm        Dbm
All that time ago.

B                  Db                      Abm
And if you want to stop our "thing" you'll stop my heart.

Eb                           E
All this pain inside's still just too sharp.

A
What was I thinking?

B
Step out of your trailer

Ebm
And into this dark!

F#
It's warm and it's breathing,

E
And it's our season.

B
Your dad is half sleeping.

Ebm
But, really, he's gone.

F#
Can you hear his VCR weeping?

E
They crossed his wires completely

E                Ebm        Dbm
When they made him fire that gun.

B                          Db               Abm
I'll say to you: to cut it off's to cut me down...

 Eb                            E
If they take me out of school, you out of town...

B                   Db                 Abm
I called a friend, my world at end, my words unwound.

 Eb                                     
I said, "It's crashing down around our heads".

E                                            B   Ebm       F#   E 
We're dumb. We're dead. Shut up about it now. 
B Ebm F# E (x2)
B                         Ebm   
I won't say I'm sorry, and how would they know?

F#                                 E
Below the Atari I could feel your heart was just going.

B                            Ebm
We'll meet on the weekend. Your dad won't be home.

F#
Your sister's out cleaning.

E                                      B
You don't need to speak it, because I know,

        Ebm           F#
Baby, I know. I said I know.

            E             
You know I know.
B Ebm F# E That it was our season. It's hard to believe it. There isn't a reason. It's only a feeling... When I look back on it now, remember how Mixed up I got before they got me sorted out... All that heart-in-my-mouth, All that head filled with doubt, It's fading out. I hardly think about it now.
               B
They say that I'll go to college

        Ebm
And you will stay home

F#
And watch while I'm leaving,

E
And the cold will just creep in.

    Ebm    Dbm
Oh, Jason, I know.
