Verse 1:
Ab
I knew before it started this August would be a hard one
Fm
   Late summer love sprung up between us
Db
Didn't last through the seasons
Ab
   I'm broken hearted, I'm disappointed

It was still beautiful
Fm                                   Db
   Took myself out to dinner and cried about you on the way home

Chorus:
                   Ab
Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah, it had me by the throat
                   Fm
Tonight I feel I'm draped in it, like a loose garment
Db
I just let it flow

I just let it flow

-Ah, ah-

Verse 2:
Ab
   I could come up with reasons I didn't love you well enough
Fm                              Db
   Shooting a second arrow into the hole where the first was
Ab
   We've paid in pain, now we'll keep the change
Fm
   The blame is for the birds
                                Db
I'll break it up in pieces and feed it to them by the river

Chorus:
                   Ab
Used to wear my sadness like a choker, yeah, it had me by the throat
                   Fm

I just let it flow
