[Verse 1]
C G
A couple of months ago
D Am
I was out drinking with an old friend of mine
C G D Am
What did he say to me
C G D Am
He said he’d like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time
C G D Am
And that everyone’s honest eventually
C G D Am
A bunch of years ago I got taken
C G D Am
By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free
C G D Am
Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes
C G D Am Em
But everyone’s honest eventually
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Summers gone again
C G D Am
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
C G D Am
Just cause nothing equals nothing
F G
Doesn’t mean everything is fair
[Verse 2]
C G D Am
I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie
C G D Am
He knew the bible a-to-z
C G
He prayed before bed at night
D Am
And thought that he was living right
C G D Am
But everyone’s honest eventually
C G D Am
A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin
C G D Am
And then he told me that he’d gone clean
C G
It’s all the same to me
D Am
What you do with your body
C G D Am Em
But everyone’s honest eventually
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Fall is here again
C G D Am
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
C G D Am
Better put your mittens on
F G
I hear its getting cold out there
[Verse 3]
C G D Am
I try to live my life just like I’d always pictured it
C G D Am
Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy
C G D Am
Set my sights low so I don’t feel like I have far to go
C G D Am
But everyone’s honest eventually
C G D Am
I had a girl who screwed around with someone else
C G D Am
She let me know almost immediately
C G
And as soon as I found out
D Am
I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out
C G D Am Em
That’s what she got for being honest
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Winters here again
C G D Am
No more leaves in tonkin square
C G D Am
Old men walk in circles
F G
They cant find me anywhere
[Interlude]
C G D Am
C G D Am
C G D Am
[Verse 4]
C G
Sometimes when I meet new people
D Am
I try too hard to be friendly
C G D Am
Sometimes I try too hard to be cool
C G D Am
They say its horrible to be living a lie
C G D Am Em
But I’ve also heard it said that nothing is true
[Chorus]
C G D Am
Winter never came
C G D Am
Ain’t no more old men in tonkin square
C G D Am
They say its horrible to live a lie
F G
Then they say that nothing is true
F G
What can you do if nothing is true?
F G
Just between me and you
F G
You’re better off not thinking it through
C G D Am
Not thinking it through
