fiona apple – pale september

G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
pale september , i wore the time like a dress that year
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
the autumn days swung soft around me , like cotton on my skin
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
but as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
my heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
Fdim7 Fdim7/C#
but then he rose , brilliant as the moon in full
Fdim7 Fdim7/C#
and sank in the burrows of my keep
F# G#sus4 D#m7 F#
G#sus4 D#m7
and all my armor falling down , in a pile at my feet
F# G#sus4 D#m7 G#sus4 F#
G#sus4 D#m7
and my winter giving way to warm , as i’m singing him to sleep

Cdim
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim

G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
he goes along just as a water lily
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
unweighed down by passion or intensity
G#6 Cdim G#6 Cdim
yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
Fdim7 Fdim7/C#
and he finds a home in me
Fdim7 Fdim7/C#
for what misfortune sows , he knows my touch will reap

F# G#sus4 D#m7 F#
G#sus4 D#m7
and all my armor falling down , in a pile at my feet
F# G#sus4 D#m7 G#sus4 F#
G#sus4 D#m7
and my winter giving way to warm , as i’m singing him to sleep
