A                    A                      F#m
His name was August, and he came in like a flood
F#m        D
He whirled around and round
D                                   A
And drowned me up in every kind of love
A                A                 F#m
He took me over. He took me to the world
F#m        D                                         A
He took me in and out and up until I was a different girl


[Chorus]
A               E     F#m       D                A
That's not what I was told when I learned how to love you
 A           E     F#m         D                  A
'Cause I was never taught that perfect love could end

[Verse 2]
A                          A                         F#m
He stands right beside me. But he's farther than the sun
F#m     D                          D                 A
But his light still keeps me warm. It still keeps me burned


[Chorus]
 A            E     F#m        D                 A
It's not what I was told when. I learned how to love you
 A            E    F#m          D                  A
'Cause I was never taught that, perfect love could end


[Post-Chorus]
A  F#m  D   A
Ooh, ooh, ooh.
A  E   F#m  D A
Ooh, ooh, ooh


[Bridge]
A                       A                 F#m
And now that it's over. All I can seem to think
F#m       D                                A
Is how to love someone with, every part of me


[Chorus]
A                  E     F#m        D                 A
'Cause that's what I was told when. I learned how to love you
 A           E     F#m          D                  A
'Cause I was never taught that, perfect love could end
A               E     F#m        D                 A
That's not what I was told when, I learned how to love you
A            E     F#m          D                  A
'Cause I was never taught that, perfect love could end
