Tom: Am
Am
[Verse 1]
Am F C
And I say it flutters and fades
Am F C
The heart it grows shade with the day
Am F C
I knew this much but something's colder
Am F C
We're growing apart, I'm getting older
[Verse 2]
Am F C
She had a great head on her shoulders
Am F C
She knew this much but still I told her
Am F C
Shes getting away but cards aren't folded, oh
Am F Am
I wanted to stay but still I'm hanging on
[Chorus]
C
Saint Paul don't write me off
[Interlude]
cycles of C F Am, merge into a G-C-Em-D progression
[Verse 3]
G C
I'm not trying to step on your feet
G Em
Don't want to hold you down I weigh too much
D C
I’m a burden to your words
[Verse 4]
G C
I'm not trying to throw you off beat
G Em
Don't wanna slow you down I want too much
D C
I'm the splinter in your foot
G D
I'm the pathway that you took
[Interlude 2]
C D, merge back into Am-F-C progression
[Verse 5]
Am F C
You’re snow-packed- You’re glacial at heart
Am F C
You played to my vice- A shoulder of ice
Am F C
We knew this much - Saint Paul has had his day
Am F C
Call it off, call it over, you wish I never came
[Chorus + Outro]
C
Saint Paul don't write me off
G
Saint Paul don't write me off
C
I swear I'm coming up
Swear to it
Swear to it
[Outro]
Am F C (hold C)
Am F (hold F)
F Am C Am
End on Em to be weird like RMCM, C to sound complete
