Would it kill you just to let it all work out

Tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now till now
verse
E A
Spent that summer feelin' sorry like I thought I'd never get
E A
To September so I loafed around intent to wait for it
F#m G#m F#m G#m E
Oh things were shaping up to take a while
A E A
F#m G#m F#m G#m E
All that waiting not a single smile
A E A
F#m G#m A B
Oh and it's so hard
E A
To spend all winter wanting summer like you couldn't bear the cold
E A
Six months later it's a bummer like it instantly got old
F#m G#m F#m G#m E
Oh things were playing out just like I thought

Would it kill you just to let it all work out

E A
One day you knew you were letting every worthwhile breath
E A
Just pass right through you with each one you drew nearer to your death
A C#m G#m F#m G#m F#m
I've got so much on my plate sometimes
A C#m G#m F#m G#m F#m
I try not to let it bog me down I know
F#m G#m A B
Oh everybody told me so
chorus
E A B E
Would it kill you just to let it all work out

Tryin' so hard just to break it down

All summer I didn't see it till just now till now
