Chords Used:

  Fadd9  F   C    G    Am
e|--3----1---3----3----0---|
B|--1----1---1----0----1---|
G|--2----2---0----0----2---|
D|--3----3---2----0----2---|
A|--3----3---3----2----0---|
E|--1----1--------3--------|

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)

         C           Fadd9           C               Fadd9
"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"?


REPEAT INTRO

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


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