A Downside To The Upstairs
View chords used in this chart
C Dm
It was a fine idea in autumn
Fmaj7 C
On the palest afternoons
C Dm Fmaj7 C
Parallelograms of sunshine fell across the room
C Dm
I woke up and it was winter
Fmaj7 C
With the rain across the roofs
C Dm Fmaj7
And the weather turned me into a bit of a recluse
C
If I needed an excuse
Dm Fmaj7 C
That mistake was mine to make, I know
G F
Even so
C G Am Bb
Seasons come and seasons go
C Dm Fmaj7 C x2
C Dm
I threw open both the windows
Fmaj7 C
With the coming of the spring
C Dm Fmaj7 C
There were weeks I didn?t want for anything
C Dm
I guess I should have seen it coming
Fmaj7 C
But summer caught me unawares
C Dm Fmaj7 C
I found out there was a downside to the upstairs
Dm Fmaj7 C
That mistake was mine to make, I know
G F
Even so
C G Am Bb
Seasons come and seasons go
Gm Bb F
Oh! the humidity
Gm Bb F
Oh! the stupidity
Gm Bb F
Oh! the humidity
Gm Bb F
Oh! the stupidity
Gm Bb F repeat to end
