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

[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
