Chords Used (frets relative to capo)

E-x–0–x–x–3-|

(the D is a C chord moved up 2 frets)

Optional Intro (Not in Milo Greenes version but I add one)
C Em D C D (strum once then pause)
If you want to add a bit of interest to the chord progression I do the following:
For the first C flick on and off the B string every down strum after the first, Em same
with the flick off/on on the A string then with both the D and the second C use your
pinky on the high E string on the 5th fret for the D and the 3rd fret for the C with a
flick on and off.

Under the autumn tree
The chair where you would swing
A yard so full of leaves
Comfort me

A man that resembles me
Watching his young lady sleep
Now I’m off to dream
Comfort me

Is this my old shape, my mind is away,
How long have you been gone
The cold winter aged the soft of your face
And I cant move on

Instrumental with Ooo’s

My good morning sun
Fish from an early hunt
I wait but you’re gone
Linger on

Is this my old shape, my mind is away,
How long have you been gone
The cold winter aged the soft of your face
And I cant move on

Linger on (Linger on)
Linger on (Linger on)
I cant move on

This ‘Linger On’ section is repeated 4 times with the same chords with the chorus lyrics
and a changed melody sung on top and then Ooh’s from this backing singer.

What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you lately?
What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you lately?

[Verse 1]
All your love, is never good enough
All your love is lost on me
You don’t know
You don’t know
All your love is lost on me (Ooos)

What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you lately?
What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you

[Verse 2]
All your love, is never good enough
All your love is lost on me
You don’t know
You don’t know
All your love is lost on me

What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you lately?
What’s the matter? What’s the matter [Am/G]with you lately?

Dreamer, you will waste your time
Do you ever wonder why
We go on and on and on?
Love is gone and gone and gone

What’s the matter? What’s the matter with you lately?
(Ooo[Am/G]s)

Son, my son

The weight is unique
One, by one

The words are complete
Your testing is calling

And we are still falling
For keeps
Just remember the[(F)] weight of your world’s
Only resting on me

Truth, so true
Slight tendency
For two by two
To be as they meet
Your waltz like repeating
Continues your dreaming
In threes
You will bury that hatchet with an olive branch
Tied to your knee

Only
Only when you’re sleeping
Only
Only when you’re sleeping

Son, my son
The weight is unique
One, by one
The words are complete
Your testing is calling
And we are still falling
For keeps
Just remember the weight of your world’s
Only resting on me

Only
Only when you’re sleeping
Only
Only when you’re sleeping

I will never run
I would never run you away

I will never run
I would never run you away
Son my only son
I will never run you away
I will never run
I will never run you away

I will never run
I will never run
You
Away

Intro: riff X4

Riff X4
In a silent way we lie under heavy drapes
Just to mask away the light from the coming day

G D C X 2 (strum once)
When, when, when we’re older
When, when, when we’re older
Can I still come over

Riff X4
Hold our naked sheets, our colored breathes we’ll see
Your hair knots on top of me, oh how the heart it beats

G D C X 2 (strum once)
When, when, when we’re older
When, when, when we’re older

Can I still come over
Can I still come over
Can I still come over
Can I still come over

Riff X2
Ohh Ohh Ohh
Ohh Ohh Ohh

Riff X4
When we’re older can I still come over
When we’re older can I still come over
When we’re older can I still come over
When we’re older can I still come over

G D C X 2 (strum once)
When, when, when we’re older
When, when, when we’re older

This is such a beautiful and easy song that it inspired me to do my first tab, which you
see here. I did it by ear, but I’m pretty sure it’s accurate!

—- means let ring, or in this case, hammering if that’s your style.

Lyrics/chords are written for solo, which is different from the song, especially at the
end, so just keep that in mind.

The switch between F to Fm is basically pulling off the G string for a beat, which I
think sounds entirely more accurate!

your house that sits behind me
is covered in ivy green
the windows that we watch from
are old and chipping at the beam

it takes me away
takes me away
takes me away
it takes me away
takes me away
takes me away

ooooh ooohohoohoh
ooooh ooohohoohoh

the scent you wear moves in lines
from your apartment into mine
you act like you don’t know me
my god, you tempt my anxious mind

it takes me away
takes me away
takes me away

it takes me away
takes me away
takes me away

ooooh ooohohoohoh
ooooh ooohohoohoh

Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you

Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you

Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you

Would it be much better if I knew nothing about you
