Am

[Verse 1]
Am       F                 C
And I say it flutters and fades
Am           F                    C
The heart it grows shade with the day
Am           F                    C
I knew this much but something's colder
Am           F                    C
We're growing apart, I'm getting older

[Verse 2]
Am          F                  C
She had a great head on her shoulders
Am         F                    C
She knew this much but still I told her
Am         F                    C
Shes getting away but cards aren't folded, oh
Am         F                    Am
I wanted to stay but still I'm hanging on

[Chorus]
C
Saint Paul don't write me off

[Interlude]
cycles of C F Am, merge into a G-C-Em-D progression

[Verse 3]
G                              C
I'm not trying to step on your feet
                       G                 Em
Don't want to hold you down I weigh too much
        D             C
I’m a burden to your words

[Verse 4]
G                              C
I'm not trying to throw you off beat
                       G              Em
Don't wanna slow you down I want too much
             D           C
I'm the splinter in your foot
          G               D
I'm the pathway that you took

[Interlude 2]
C D, merge back into Am-F-C progression

[Verse 5]
Am          F                  C
You’re snow-packed- You’re glacial at heart
Am          F                  C
You played to my vice- A shoulder of ice
Am          F                  C
We knew this much - Saint Paul has had his day
Am          F                  C
Call it off, call it over, you wish I never came

[Chorus + Outro]
C
Saint Paul don't write me off
G
Saint Paul don't write me off
C
I swear I'm coming up
Swear to it
Swear to it

[Outro]
Am F C (hold C)
Am F   (hold F)
F Am C Am
End on Em to be weird like RMCM, C to sound complete
