Tips: 
*When picking the Fadd9, I just use my thumb on the 6th string and my index, middle &  
pinky fingers for the 
 other 3 notes. 
*This also sounds pretty good when strummed - or alternating between picking (intro  
pattern) and strumming. 
*If strumming the verse you can get away with just a regular F (133211) 
*Obviously the chords are relative to the capo (the album recording is in G)

"It's a cold day for September", was all I thought to say 
       C              Fadd9      G        Fadd9 G 
When I saw you on the street the other day. 
       C                   Fadd9              C               Fadd9 
I knew something changed between us, all the talk we made was small 
         C             Fadd9                 C               Fadd9 G 
But what do you say to someone when they've heard you say it all? 
        Am              G        Fadd9          G 
It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way 


           F                  C                  G                 N.C 
How did we get from saying "I love you" to "I'll see you around someday"?

   C                Fadd9        C            Fadd9 
It seemed like only days ago we had so much to say 
       C               Fadd9           G       C       Fadd9 G 
Did we take it all for granted, did it all get thrown away? 
    C                   Fadd9            C       Fadd9 
"It calls for rain this afternoon", you finally replied 
               C                Fadd9          C                Fadd9 G 
And there was such a stuttering silence that I felt my mouth go dry 
              Am                G                    F               G 
So we'll just talk about the weather 'cause there's not much more to say 


           F                  C                  G                  C

REPEAT INTRO 


    F                C               G             C 
Has all the ice been broken? All our surfaces been scratched 
     F                   C               G               C 
Have all the words been spoken? Have we finally met our match? 
       G       Am              G         F             G 
'cause It's an awkward conversation in a most peculiar way 


           F                  C                  G                  C
