Verse 

G 
Remember the way the mattress sat 
N.C. 
In the middle of my room 
N.C.                                        G 
With a light above and my notebooks on the nightstand 
N.C. 
The calm and the storm, the rain and the phone 
                                   C            Em                   G 
Listening to all these records at midnight, for once home felt like home 


C                              G 
I've always found myself back here 
                               C 
With a constant ringing in my head 
                                   G                            Em 
I'm still excited after all these years, September came and went 


Verse 

G   Em          G              Em     G 
The cold on my face, I like to be outside 
        Em         G         Em     C      
I stare up at the stars when I get home 
             Em                  G  
Tonight it's all weighing on my mind 
G      Em    G         Em       G             Em            G     Em      C 
After three AM I just start to write, and my thoughts they always end up blank 
           Em                      G 
Oh well, another time and another place 


C                              G 
I've always found myself back here 
                               C 
With a constant ringing in my head 
                                   G                             
I'm still excited after all these years, September came and went

N.C.      
I'm poor and I'm happy 
N.C. 
I'm tired and I'm cranky 
N.C. 
I'm poor and I'm happy at least most of the time 
        G 
I feel young, I feel restless 
       G 
I'm a fool, and I'm reckless 
         G                                       G    Em 
But I'm poor and I'm happy at least most of the time 


C                              G 
I've always found myself back here 
                               C 
With a constant ringing in my head 
                                   G                             
I'm still excited after all these years, September came and went 
C                              G 
I've always found myself back here 
                               C 
With a constant ringing in my head 
                                   G                             
I'm still excited after all these years, September came and went
