August

E 
You're too many states away 
F# 
You never said goodbye to my dog 
A                     Am               E 
The one that died and loved you quite a lot 
E 
I wish I could complain to you 
F# 
But I can't risk sounding a bore 
       A                 Am               E 
I just miss my dog and I miss you all the more 


  A                Am 
I glued my fingers together 
        E                          E7 
And you can't see the ground in my room 
     A                  Am 
They predicted bad, bad weather 
      E                                E7 
But I guess the sun shines 'cause you asked it to 
      A                Am 
I was counting on that thunder though 
    E    E7          A 
To press reset on my soul 
         A                       Am                       E 
But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone 
    A          Am             E 
And suddenly I don't feel so alone 

 
    E 
You left me with only the scent of you 
  F# 
So I keep meeting you in my dreams 
      A                  Am                E 
Maybe one night I could finally say what I mean 
   E 
If i could put the words into melodies 
   F# 
Oh it would be a beautiful song 
         A                        Am              E 
But it's August now, and it still just comes out wrong 


  A                Am 
I glued my fingers together 
        E                          E7 
And you can't see the ground in my room 
     A                  Am 
They predicted bad, bad weather 
      E                                E7 
But I guess the sun shines 'cause you asked it to 
      A                Am 
I was counting on that thunder though 
    E    E7          A 
To press reset on my soul 
         A                       Am                       E 
But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone 
    A          Am             E 
And suddenly I don't feel so alone 



E  F#  A  Am  E X2 
Mhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh 



  A                Am 
I glued my fingers together 
        E                          E7 
And you can't see the ground in my room 
     A                  Am

         A                       Am                       E 
But then you reached out and you held my hand through the phone 
    A          Am             E 
And suddenly I don't feel so alone 
  A          Am             E 
And suddenly I don't feel alone
