Dm           A#                      F   C
Never be so kind, you forget to be clever
Dm            A#                      F  C
Never be so clever, you forget to be kind

F                     A#
And if I didn't know better
               F                  C
I'd think you were talking to me now
F                A#
If I didn't know better
F                          C
I'd think you were still around

Chorus
Dm                A#
What died didn't stay dead
                   F
What died didn't stay dead
                       C
You're alive, you're alive in my head
Dm                A#
What died didn't stay dead
                   F
What died didn't stay dead
                   C
You're alive, so alive

Never be so polite, you forget your power
Never wield such power, you forget to be polite

And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were listening to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around

Chorus

Dm
  The autumn chill that wakes me up
A#
  You loved the amber skies so much
F
  Long limbs and frozen swims
        C
  You'd always go past where our feet could touch
Dm
  And I complained the whole way there
A#
  The car ride back and up the stairs
F
  I should've asked you questions
C
  I should've asked you how to be
F                       A#
  Asked you to write it down for me
                         F
  Should've kept every grocery store receipt
                  C
  'Cause every scrap of you would be taken from me
Gm                           A#
  Watched as you signed your name Marjorie
                       F
  All your closets of backlogged dreams
               C
  And how you left them all to me

Chorus

And if I didn't know better
I'd think you were singing to me now
If I didn't know better
I'd think you were still around
I know better
But I still feel you all around
I know better
But you're still around
