[Verse 1]
        D                G          D                G
"It's a cold day for September" was all I thought to say,
       D              G           A         D G  A
When I saw you on the street the other day.
        D                  G                    D                G
And has something changed between us? All the talk we made was small.
        D                  G                   D                G   A
But what do you say to someone, When they've heard you say it all?
        Bm              A            D             A
It's an awkward conversation, in a most peculiar way.

[Chorus]
            G                  D                  A                       
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you 'round someday"?

[Verse 2]
      D              G           D               G
It seemed like only days ago we had so much to say.
         D              G               D    G   A
Did we take it all for granted? Did it all get thrown away?
       D                  G              D           G
"It calls for rain this afternoon", you finally replied.
               D                G               D                G  A
And there was such a stuttering silence that i felt my mouth go dry.
            Bm              A                     D             A
We'll just talk about the weather, cause there's not much more to say.

[Chorus]
            G                  D                  A                       D
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you 'round someday"?
            G                  D                  A
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you 'round someday"?

[Bridge]
     G               D               A                 D
Has all the ice been broken, all our surfaces been scratched?
      G                   D               A                 D
Have all the words been spoken, have we finally met our match?
              Bm             A           G            A
Cause it's an awkward conversation, in a most peculiar way.

[Chorus]
            G                  D                  A                       D

How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you 'round someday"?
            G                  D                  A
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you 'round someday"?
